title: Seropositivity of a blood recipient from a donor with positive adult T-cell leukemia-associated antigens.
abstract: A blood recipient, aged 66, was found to have positive adult T-cell leukemia-associated antigens (ATLA), approximately half a year after a transfusion. The donor's ATLA-antibody titer was 1: 640. Routine screening of blood donors for ATLA antibody was proposed.
