Pregnancy complicated by HTLV-1-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP): a case report

Pregnancy was not associated with deterioration of HAM nor was HAM associated with adverse pregnancy outcome in this case. These findings suggest that women with HAM/TSP, even those who use a wheelchair, should not be discouraged from pregnancy.

Automated summary

The study found that pregnancy does not worsen HAM symptoms, and HAM does not affect pregnancy outcomes. Therefore, women with HAM/TSP, even those who use wheelchairs, should not be discouraged from getting pregnant.
