description Approximately 1% (4/500) of blood donors exhibited seropositivity for HTLV‐II in South Vietnam, but none (0/500) did in North Vietnam. Further, all individuals seropositive for HTLV‐II were intravenous drug abusers who were seronegative for HIV‐1 and HTLV‐I. These findings suggest that HTLV‐II infection may be specifically prevalent in drug abusers in South Vietnam.
