What is Bottle-feeding Can Prevent Transmission of Htlv-1 from Mothers to Their Babies about?
Breast-feeding is a major factor in the vertical transmission of human T-lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I). We studied whether such transmission may be prevented by bottle-feeding. H T L V -I infection was detected by both H T L V -I antigen and antibody tests. Thirty bottle-fed babies were examined 24 months after birth; only one was found to be H T L V -I antigen-positive. This infection rate was lower than that for breast-fed babies in whom H T L V -I antigen was detected in 24 of the 31 24month-old babies born to H T L V -I positive mothers in a previous study. These results suggest that most vertical transmission of H T L V -I is attributable to breastfeeding and can be prevented by bottle-feeding.
