FRAGMENTO
El papilomavirus humano (PVH) ha sido implicado como el agente causal del condiloma acuminado y de carcinomas anogenitales. Los papilomavirus son pequeños virus tumorales compuestos por DNA que infectan células epiteliales e inducen lesiones proliferativas. Los datos epidemiológicos en conjunto con estudios
in vitro e
in vivo han implicado los PVH en el desarrollo de estas enfermedades malignas epiteliales. Más del 90% de todos los carcinomas cervicales son positivos para la infección por PVH. La mayoría de estas lesiones son ocasionadas por tipos del PVH de alto riesgo. En esta revisión se analizan las propiedades biológicas básicas del PVH, los mecanismos de transformación celular, también los mecanismos del PVH asociados a la carcinogénesis en los huéspedes normales y en condiciones especiales como la gestación o en los pacientes inmunocomprometidos. El artículo plantea el importante papel que juega el tamizaje cervical oportuno y periódico en la prevención del cáncer, y de igual manera presenta al personal de salud la terminología adecuada y aceptada para el informe de los hallazgos citológicos. Finalmente, se describen las vacunas disponibles contra el PVH, su utilidad en la prevención y se mencionan las controversias que se han generado a su alrededor.
