The percentage of last-born women among pregnant women who were seropositive for human T-lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) significantly exceeded that among HTLV-I seronegative women (119/258 (46.1%): 89/251 (35.4%); P < 0.05). The findings suggest that last-born women are susceptible to HTLV-I infection. At least two possible interpretations of this birth-order effect are: (i) these last-born women were born to mothers who, on the average, were older than those of early-born women and, as a consequence, were more likely to have been seropositive and to have passed on HTLV-I to their daughters; (ii) husband-to-wife transmission of HTLV-I requires time to occur, so last-born women are more likely than early-born women to become infected.
