Summary: The cytomegalovirus infection is prevalent in developed countries. The natural history of disease includes three phases: primoinfection (majority is asymptomatic), latency and reactivation. In certain immunosuppressive states, as in the case of transplantation and HIV infection, the virus can reactivate, occurring cutaneous manifestations, of what stands out the occurrence of genital ulcers. In these, co-infection with other etiologic agents is common, particularly with the herpes simplex virus, leading to more severe manifestations and difficulty in the differential diagnosis. In this context, it is relevant to know the pathogenesis of this virus and the diagnostics means available in order to optimize its therapy.

A história natural da doença engloba três fases: primoinfeção (a maioria assintomática), latência e reativação. Em doentes imunossuprimidos, como na transplantação e infeção por VIH, o vírus pode reativar, com manifestações cutâneas, das quais se salienta a ocorrência de úlceras genitais. Nestas, é comum a coinfeção com outros agentes etiológicos, nomeadamente com o vírus herpes simplex, dificultando o diagnóstico diferencial e tornando as lesões mais exuberantes. Neste contexto, torna-se relevante conhecer a patogenia deste vírus, os meios diagnósticos disponíveis, de modo a optimizar a sua abordagem terapêutica.Sociedade Portuguesa de Dermatologia e Venereologia2015-09-29T00:00:00Zjournal articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.29021/spdv.73.3.460oai:ojs.revista.spdv.com.pt:article/460Journal of the Portuguese Society of Dermatology and Venereology; Vol 73 No 3 (2015): Julho / Setembro; 363-366Revista da Sociedade Portuguesa de Dermatologia e Venereologia; v. 73 n. 3 (2015): Julho / Setembro; 363-3662182-24092182-2395reponame:Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP)instname:FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiainstacron:RCAAPporhttps://revista.spdv.com.pt/index.php/spdv/article/view/460https://doi.org/10.29021/spdv.73.3.460https://revista.spdv.com.pt/index.php/spdv/article/view/460/358Marcos-Pinto, AnaBorges-Costa, Joãoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2022-10-06T12:34:54Zoai:ojs.revista.spdv.com.pt:article/460Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireinfo@rcaap.ptopendoar:https://opendoar.ac.uk/repository/71602025-05-28T10:31:07.317717Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP) - FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiafalse
