ÚLCERAS GENITAIS PROVOCADAS PELO CITOMEGALOVÍRUS
Resumo
A infeção por citomegalovírus é prevalente nos países desenvolvidos. A história natural da doença engloba três fases: primoinfeção (a maioria assintomática), latência e reativação. Em doentes imunossuprimidos, como na transplantação e infeção por VIH, o vírus pode reativar, com manifestações cutâneas, das quais se salienta a ocorrência de úlceras genitais. Nestas, é comum a coinfeção com outros agentes etiológicos, nomeadamente com o vírus herpes simplex, dificultando o diagnóstico diferencial e tornando as lesões mais exuberantes. Neste contexto, torna-se relevante conhecer a patogenia deste vírus, os meios diagnósticos disponíveis, de modo a optimizar a sua abordagem terapêutica.
