Resumen
Objetivo: Analizar la transmisión vertical del virus linfotrópico de células T humanas (HTLV). Revisión bibliográfica: El HTLV es un retrovirus humano que se presenta principalmente en dos formas: el HTLV-1 y el HTLV-2. Estos virus afectan a las células T del sistema inmunológico y pueden llevar a enfermedades graves, incluyendo la leucemia de células T, el linfoma de células T y la mielopatía asociada al HTLV-1, especialmente unos 20 a 30 años después de la exposición. Su transmisión ocurre por contacto sexual, contacto sanguíneo y vía de transmisión vertical. Dado el tiempo requerido para manifestaciones graves, es de extrema importancia discutir sobre la transmisión vertical del HTLV. Consideraciones finales: Es considerado que el HTLV es una enfermedad silenciosa cuya prueba no se realiza ampliamente, siendo imperativo el seguimiento de su incidencia para la implementación de medidas preventivas de la transmisión vertical de este virus. Además, al abordar medidas para prevenir la transmisión de madre a hijo, se debe considerar la relación costo-beneficio en la recomendación de suspender la lactancia materna, dada sus ventajas para los lactantes, raramente consumido y nunca consumido.
