The medical demand imposed by COVID-19 has distracted proper care of other illnesses. Herein, we report the impact on new diagnoses of HTLV-1, HTLV-2, and HIV-2 in Spain, where these infections are mostly driven by immigration flows from endemic regions. As expected, case reporting declined for all three retroviral infections with respect to prior years. Furthermore, late presentations were more common. The two major reasons for these observations were significant declines in the arrival of foreigners from endemic regions and a shift in medical resources to prioritize COVID-19.

简短交流：COVID-19 对西班牙 HTLV 和 HIV-2 病例报告的影响

COVID-19 强加的医疗需求分散了对其他疾病的适当护理。在此，我们报告了西班牙对 HTLV-1、HTLV-2 和 HIV-2 新诊断的影响，这些感染主要是由来自流行地区的移民流驱动的。正如预期的那样，与前几年相比，所有三种逆转录病毒感染的病例报告均有所下降。此外，迟到的报告更为常见。这些观察结果的两个主要原因是来自流行地区的外国人的到来显着减少，以及医疗资源转移到优先考虑 COVID-19。
