Abstract

   Human samples from Leukemia patients were collected from November 16, 2024, to January 1, 2025. The age range of the patients was  8 months  to  80  years.  The  RT-qPCR  method  was  used  to  detect Human T-cell Leukemia Virus Type 1    in  all  samples;  the  results  showed  Twenty-five positive cases for Human T-cell Leukemia Virus Type 1 . The population groups studied were divided into five age groups: 18-27, 28-37, 38-47, 48-57, and 58-67 years. The first group (18-27) had the highest number of infected cases at 56%, compared to the age group (28-37 at 12%,  38-47  at  8%,  48-57  at  14%,  and  the  age  group  58-67  at  8%).  The  samples  were  collected  from  Hospital, Middle Euphrates Cancer Center in Najaf province.
