Interpretation: Preliminary results suggest that there is a lack of communication between doctors and parents in the Pediatric Emergency Unit. This study also demonstrated incomplete parental knowledge of bacterial meningitis, which could in turn affect parent’s ability to identify appropriate prevention and treatment methods for their children.

Background: Human T cell leukemia virus type I (HTLV-1) is associated with increased susceptibility to Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection (TB) (1). Patients with active tuberculosis have a higher prevalence of HTLV-1 infection, compared with general population. HTLV-1 and TB coinfection increases the mortality rate of TB (1). The control of latent TB is highly dependent on the Th1 response (2). HTLV-1 infection causes proliferation of CD4+ T cells and an increased spontaneous production of IFN-g (3). The underlying mechanism by which HTLV-1 increases severity and susceptibility of tuberculosis is poorly understood. We hypothesize that HTLV-1/LTBi co-infected subjects will show higher spontaneous and antigen-specific IFN-g, IL-2, and TNFa responses than those with latent TB subjects without HTLV-1. Methods: We analyzed plasma of 20 asymptomatic HTLV-1 subjects, 17 of which were also LTBi, and 9 HTLV-1 negative subjects. Latent TB was established by Tuberculin Skin Test (positive if > 10mm) and Interferon Gamma Release Assay (IGRA). Whole blood was cultured with and without Mycobacterium Tuberculosis antigen and assayed with IGRA and Th1/Th2/Th17 Cytokine Bead Assay. Data analysis was performed with STATA. Findings: Spontaneous IFN-g production was higher in HTLV-1 positive subjects than in HTLV-1 negative subjects (p¼0.003). This result was the same when controlling for those patients with positive quantiferon test (p¼ 0.002). We found no significant difference in specific TB antigen IFN-g production between HTLV-1 positive and negative subjects (p¼0.919). IL-6 production in HTLV-1 positive subjects in response to TB Ag was decreased (p¼0.011), however the remaining cytokines remained unchanged between HTLV-1 and controls in both nil and TB Ag environments (0.114
