Descrição: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV‐1) and human T lymphotropic virus types I and II (HTLV‐I/II) infections in 226 Haemophiliac patients treated at Fundação Hemominas in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais State, Brazil, and to verify association with other serological results. Patients positive for HTLV‐I/II had also a neurological, heamatological and ophthalmological evaluation. Fundação Hemominas offers comprehensive care for all Haemophiliac patients in Minas Gerais. Thirty‐six (15.9%) of the 226 patients showed reactive results to HIV‐1 [ELISA, Abbott, USA, confirmed by Western blot (WB), Cambridge Biotech, USA, and/or immunofluorescence, Fiocruz, Brazil] and 16 (7.1%) had reactive sera to HTLV‐I/II (ELISA, Ortho). Eleven of these 16 (4.9%) were positive, 3/16 (1.3%) were indeterminate and 2/16 (0.9%) were negative in the HTLV WB (Cambridge Biotech). Neurological, heamatological and ophthalmological examination of 9/16 patients revealed no abnormality suggestive of HTLV disease. Of the 16 patients reactive to HTLV‐I/II ELISA test, six (37.5%) were also positive to HIV‐1 (χ2= 5.92; P= 0.01). Seropositivity for HTLV‐I/II and HIV‐1 was associated with advancing age and positive results for hepatitis C virus (HCV), Chagas’ disease (T. cruzi infection) and syphilis. No association between the presence of HTLV with type and severity of Haemophilia and hepatitis B results was detected. The prevalence of antibodies against HIV‐1 is approximately three times that of HTLV‐I/II and a patient positive for HTLV‐I/II had a significantly increased risk of being positive for HIV‐1, HCV and T. cruzi.
