RESUMEN
La detección de esperma puede ser un factor importante a la hora de confirmar un ataque sexual en los casos de violación. Un gran número de los casos recibidos en el laboratorio forense tienen relación con ofensas sexuales, lo cual hace necesario examinar muestras de presencia de manchas seminales. El objetivo de este trabajo es proporcionar una apreciación global de los métodos y pruebas más importantes usados en la identificación de espermatozoos o constituyentes del fluido seminal durante la investigación de supuestos casos de ataque sexual, en la práctica médica forense.
