To the Editor: Most of the data in our letter to the editor on the absence of human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I in cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (Jan. 23, 1997, issue)¹ cannot be verified. The letter is therefore invalid, and we wish to retract it. We apologize to the Journal and its readers for reporting these results.
