Prevalência dos Vírus linfotrópico de células T humanas 1 e 2 (HTLV-1 e HTLV-2), Herpesvírus humano 5 (Citomegalovírus) e Vírus da hepatite B (VHB) em mulheres grávidas portadoras do Vírus da imunodeficiência humana 1 (HIV-1) do Estado do Pará, e Tocantins

Abstract

The prevalence of the infection for viral agents, as HTLV, HBV and CMV is still little known in the women's pregnant infected by HIV-1 in the North region of Brazil. This work had as objective describes the soroprevalence of the infections for HTLV, CMV and HBV in pregnant infected by HIV-1 attended in a center of reference of Pará and of Tocantins. Blood samples were collected of 47 women's pregnant infected by HIV-1, coming from several places of the state of Pará, in the period of August of 2005 to January of 2008 and of 18 women pregnant infected by HIV-1 originating from of several places of the state of Tocantins in the period of May to October of 2007. The samples of were screened to an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay of the type ELISA to determine the presence of antibodies to HTLV, HBV (anti- HBc total, anti-HBc IgM, anti-HBs, HBsAg) and CMV IgM/IgG. The serological analysis detected that none of the samples of serum of both states was not positive for the HTLV and CMV IgM. However, all of the samples of both states detected the presence of antibodies to CMV IgG. The prevalence of the infection HBV in pregnant infected by HIV-1 of the state of Pará it was of 19,1% and in Tocantins that prevalence was of 27,8%. Only in the state of Tocantins verified that there was just one pregnant (5,6%) coinfected HIV-1/VHB. The prevalence of the coinfection HIV/HTLV is low in the examined populations, as well as the occurrence of the acute infection for CMV. However, check that a great number of women of both states still susceptible to the infection for HBV, what suggests that these populations should be vaccinated against HBV.
