RESUMO
A leucemia de células T no adulto (ATL) é causada pelo vírus linfotrópico de células T (HTLV-1). Contudo, apenas 2 por cento-5 por cento dos indivíduos infectados desenvolvem a ATL e somente 40-60 anos após a infecção. Um fator de risco para adquirir a doença é a via da transmissão do vírus pela amamentação e durante o parto, sugerindo que a criança já é portadora do vírus. Desde a descoberta do vírus, em 1980, vários artigos científicos foram publicados descrevendo as manifestações clínicas, biologia do vírus e alterações intracelulares induzidas pelo vírus. Esta revisão visa explorar alguns aspectos da relação entre HTLV-1 e a leucemia de células T do Adulto.
ABSTRACT
The human T-lymphotropic virus (HTLV-1) is known to be the etiologic agent of adult T-cell leukemia (ATL). Only 2-5 percent of infected individuals develop ATL and even then only 40-60 years after infection. One risk factor to develop ATL is the transmission of the virus by breastfeeding and during delivery, suggesting that infants of infected mothers are already carriers of the virus. Since the discovery of the virus in 1980 many scientific papers have been published describing the clinical manifestations, biology of the virus and the intracellular alterations induced by the virus. This review aims to explore some aspects of the relationship between HTLV-1 and ATL.
