| Resumo: | Human T lymphotropic viruses types 1 and 2 (HTLV-1/2) are human oncogenic retroviruses. Brazil is ranked the country with the highest number of individuals affected by HTLV-1, with an average of 800,000 carriers. This study aimed to identify the prevalence of HTLV-1/2 infection in pregnant women. This is an Integrative Review, in which a search was carried out in the virtual databases and libraries: PUBMed, BVS, CAPES journal and academic google. The following descriptors were selected: “prevalence”, “HTLV-1/2” and “pregnant”. Of the 481 selected publications, 10 were analyzed after the exclusions of certain productions, according to the previously defined inclusion criteria. Evidence indicates that the effects of the HTLV-1/2 virus in the pregnancy period have been marked vertically, through breastfeeding, birth canal, premature rupture of membranes in infected mothers, a history of stillbirths and newborns with low birth weight . Therefore, it is important for health professionals to know about the symptoms of the HTLV-1/2 virus and for new evidence on the topic to be updated so that they can prevent the worsening of this pathology, intervening in advance through the necessary guidelines and referrals for taking care of the health of the pregnant woman and the fetus. |
