Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:Abstract Recent evidence indicates that the persistence of HPV infection is favored by the hormonal changes inherent to pregnancy, either through direct action on the viral genome or by promoting uncontrolled cellular proliferation, and it tends to resolve spontaneously in the postpartum period. Most cervical intraepithelial lesions remain stable or regress during pregnancy, with higher postpartum regression rates observed for lesions diagnosed during gestation. The pathophysiological mechanism underlying the association between HPV infection and preterm birth remains unclear. HPV-16 has been implicated as a high-risk genotype for preterm birth and vertical transmission and viral load may serve as a risk marker for these outcomes.
