Nineteen were asymptomatic carriers with low or high pVL; 19 were diagnosed with HAM, with 10 receiving anti-inflammatory therapy. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were stained and analyzed for frequency distribution and activation of innate and adaptive immune cell subsets using multiparameter flow cytometry.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Inflation of the CD4:CD8 ratio (&amp;gt;2) was observed among all groups irrespective of pVL. The frequency of naive CD4+ T cells correlated inversely with HTLV-1 pVL (rs = \u20130.344, P = .026). Mature T effector memory TEM CD4+ T cells were expanded in patients with untreated HAM compared with asymptomatic carriers (P &amp;lt; .001) but less so in those on therapy. High levels of exhausted (PD-1+) and senescent (CD28null) CD4+ and CD8+ T cells were observed in all individuals, particularly in those with HAM, while monocytes showed increased aggregation and CD14+CD56- monocytes were less frequent.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>CD4:CD8
