  1. Cases 1 and 2 are shown in Figs. 1 and 2, respectively
  2. A 65-year-old male (case 3) tested negative for HTLV-1 before renal transplantation and was transplanted from an HLTV-1-positive donor at another hospital. The patient was infected with HTLV-1 two months after renal transplantation. To date, the patient has not developed a HAM or ATL
  3. A 60-year-old female who tested positive for HTLV-1 (Case 4) was transplanted from an HTLV-1-positive donor. To date, the patient has not developed ATL or HAM
