In patients with HAM, the plasma concentration of β2-microglobulin (measured by rate nephelometry) was positively correlated with the time taken by the patient to walk 10 m. Of the 5 patients with the highest plasma [β2-microglobulin], four were confined to a wheelchair (top right of figure, unfilled symbols; the two symbols to the right of the//mark represent values of 2.1 and 6.1 mg. L-1 respectively).
