Resumo

O artigo aborda a infecção pelo vírus linfotrópico de células T humanas (human T lymphotropic virus, HTLV), tema contemplado no Protocolo Clínico e Diretrizes Terapêuticas para Atenção Integral às Pessoas com Infecções Sexualmente Transmissíveis, publicado pelo Ministério da Saúde do Brasil. A infecção pelo HTLV-1/2 é um problema de saúde pública mundial, sendo o Brasil o país a referir o maior número de indivíduos convivendo com o vírus. O HTLV-1 causa diversas manifestações clínicas, de natureza neoplásica, como a leucemia/linfoma de células T do adulto, e de natureza inflamatória, a exemplo da mielopatia associada ao HTLV-1 e outras alterações, como uveíte, artrite e dermatite infecciosa. Estas patologias apresentam elevada morbimortalidade e impactam negativamente a qualidade de vida dos indivíduos infectados. A presente revisão inclui informações relevantes para gestores e profissionais de saúde sobre os mecanismos de transmissão viral, diagnóstico, tratamento e acompanhamento de indivíduos vivendo com o HTLV-1/2 no Brasil.

Abstract

This manuscript is related to the chapter about human T-cell lymphotropic virus (HTLV) that is part of the Clinical Protocol and Therapeutic Guidelines for Comprehensive Care for People with Sexually Transmitted Infections, published by the Brazilian Health Ministry. HTLV-1/2 infection is a worldwide public health problem and Brazil has the largest number of individuals living with the virus. HTLV-1 causes a variety of clinical manifestations of a neoplastic nature, such as adult leukemia/T-cell lymphoma, and also of an inflammatory nature, such as HTLV-1-associated myelopathy, as well as other manifestations such as uveitis, arthritis and infective dermatitis. These pathologies have high morbidity and mortality and negatively impact the quality of life of infected individuals. This review includes relevant information for health service managers and workers regarding virus transmission modes, diagnosis, treatment and monitoring of individuals living with HTLV-1 and 2 in Brazil.

A infecção por HTLV-1/2 resulta da transmissão de linfócitos infectados, presentes em fluidos corpóreos (sangue, sêmen, secreção vaginal e leite materno), por transfusão de sangue e derivados, uso de drogas endovenosas, transplante de órgãos, relações sexuais desprotegidas, e por transmissão vertical. A transmissão vertical pode ocorrer por via placentária e, principalmente, pelo aleitamento materno.118. Gessain A , Cassar O. Epidemiological aspects and world distribution of HTLV-1 infection.

Os estudos soroepidemiológicos para HTLV-1/2 baseiam-se na detecção de anticorpos específicos. É importante enfatizar que poucos estudos populacionais foram conduzidos de forma adequada, sendo grande parte da informação epidemiológica sobre HTLV-1/2 decorrente de estudos antigos, os quais, muitas vezes, não definem apropriadamente taxas de incidência e prevalência, mostram resultados conflitantes e não permitem a definição de medidas ajustadas de prevenção e controle.1818.

Geralmente, ela tem início insidioso e progride lentamente, sobretudo no sexo feminino: a ocorrência de casos de HAM em mulheres é duas a três vezes superior à observada entre homens. Os distúrbios de marcha são consequentes à diminuição gradual da força muscular e da espasticidade dos membros inferiores,8080. Champs APS, Passos VMA, Barreto SM, Vaz LS, Ribas JGR.

levando à necessidade, ao longo do tempo, de auxílio para locomoção (com apoio de bengalas e andadores), podendo evoluir para o uso da cadeira de rodas. O tempo de evolução varia, de meses a décadas. Os sintomas de disfunção vésico-intestinal e sexual podem ser as queixas iniciais do indivíduo adoecido. Geralmente, a HAM se caracteriza por urge-incontinência urinária, constipação intestinal e disfunção erétil na população masculina. O quadro neurológico pode estar associado a processos multissistêmicos, como dermatites, uveítes, pneumonia, além de alterações cognitivas.8181. Okajima R, Casseb J, Sanches JA.

e melhor prognóstico, quando instituído até cinco anos após os primeiros sintomas.

Os níveis de carga proviral correlacionam a progressão da doença especialmente com a fraqueza muscular. Apesar de a magnitude da carga proviral no sangue periférico estar associada a HAM, não é o único fator diagnóstico ou prognóstico da patologia.8484.

Leucemia/linfoma de células T do adulto

A neoplasia de células T periféricas causada pelo HTLV-1 apresenta-se com leucocitose, caracteriza-se pela presença de linfócitos anormais (células em flor - flower cells) e, clinicamente, por linfadenopatias, lesões de pele, disfunção de múltiplos órgãos decorrente da invasão das células neoplásicas, além da presença de infecções oportunistas. Elevação dos níveis da enzima lactato desidrogenase e hipercalcemia são características. No Japão, há mais de um milhão de portadores e a incidência de ATLL varia de 0,6 a 0,7 por 1.000 pessoas/ano.9191. Tajima K, Cartier L. Epidemiological features of HTLV-I and adult T cell leukemia.

Raramente a ATLL ocorre antes dos 30 anos de idade e tende a aumentar até os 70 anos. Ainda no Japão, onde a probabilidade de desenvolver ATLL é de 5%, são considerados fatores de risco (i) a transmissão materna, (ii) a idade mais avançada, (iii) o aumento da carga proviral no sangue periférico, (iv) o histórico familiar de ATLL e (v) o teste prévio positivo para anti-HTLV-1.9393.

Alterações dermatológicas no indivíduo com HTLV

Além das manifestações clínicas classicamente associadas ao HTLV-1, tais como a dermatite infecciosa e as manifestações cutâneas da ATLL, outras afecções dermatológicas atribuídas à infecção têm sido descritas como formas graves de escabiose (especialmente em coinfectados pelo HIV-1),102102.

principalmente na transmissão vertical, embora a doença também possa afetar adolescentes e adultos.105105. Bittencourt AL, Primo J, Oliveira MFP. Manifestations of the human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I infection in childhood and adolescence. J Pediatr (Rio J) [Internet]. 2006 [cited 2020 Oct 15] ; 82(6):411-20. Available from: http://dx.doi.org/10.2223/JPED.1573
https://doi.org/10.2223/JPED.1573...
A dermatite infecciosa se caracteriza por lesões eritemato-descamativas, que atingem principalmente o couro cabeludo, regiões retro-auriculares, pescoço, face, axilas e virilhas. Geralmente, ela está associada à infecção por bactérias Gram-positivas, como Streptococcus beta-hemoliticus e Staphylococcus aureus. Segundo um estudo de série de casos demonstrou, quase metade dos indivíduos que tiveram acompanhamento de longo prazo também foram diagnosticados com HAM.106106.

O diagnóstico diferencial inclui outras causas de eczema crônico, como dermatite atópica e dermatite seborreica.106106. Oliveira MFSP, Fatal PL, Primo JRL, Silva JLS, Batista ES, Ferré L, et al. Infective dermatitis associated with human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1: evaluation of 42 cases observed in Bahia, Brazil.

https://doi.org/10.1093/cid/cis273...
Presença das lesões características, rinorreia crônica, dermatite crônica recidivante e sorologia positiva para HTLV são os principais critérios para diagnóstico da dermatite infecciosa, cujo tratamento consiste na administração de antibióticos associada com uso tópico de corticosteroides, combinados ou não com antifúngicos.

As alterações dermatológicas na ATLL são bastante variadas (eritrodermia, pápulas, nódulos, lesões infiltrantes ou placas eritematosas) e dependem do estágio da doença; nodulações são mais frequentes nas formas graves, especialmente na forma aguda, linfomatosa, ou cutânea primária tumoral.107107. Bittencourt AL, Oliveira MFP. Cutaneous manifestations associated with HTLV-1 infection. Int J Dermatol [Internet]. 2010 Oct [cited 2020 Oct 15] ; 49(10):1099-110.

https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-4632.2010...
As lesões podem ter evolução indolente, e modificar-se com uso de corticosteroides. A avaliação histopatológica é essencial para o diagnóstico específico.

Uveíte no indivíduo com HTLV-1

No Japão, a uveíte foi relatada pela primeira vez em 1989.108108. Ohba N, Matsumoto M, Sameshima M, Kabayama Y, Nakao K, Unoki K, et al. Ocular manifestations in patients infected with human T-lymphotropic virus type I. Jpn J Ophthalmol. 1989;33(1):1-12. Mais comum em pessoas na idade até 50 anos e um pouco mais frequente em mulheres, sua incidência exata entre portadores de HTLV-1 permanece incerta. A doença se manifesta por distúrbios visuais, incluindo ‘moscas volantes’ e visão embaçada ou nebulosa; e é bilateral em quase metade das pessoas afetadas.109109. Mochizuki M, Tajima K, Watanabe T , Yamaguchi K. Human T lymphotropic virus type 1 uveitis. Br J Ophthalmol [Internet]. 1994 Feb [cited 2020 Oct 15] ; 78(2):149-54. Available from: https://dx.doi.org/10.1136%2Fbjo.78.2.149
https://doi.org/10.1136%2Fbjo.78.2.149...
Os sinais oculares incluem: irite; opacidades vítreas; vasculite da retina; e hemorragias e exsudatos da retina. Há uma boa resposta do paciente aos corticosteroides tópicos ou sistêmicos, embora a recidiva seja comum com a descontinuidade da terapia.

Coinfecções no indivíduo com HTLV

O indivíduo infectado pelo HTLV pode apresentar algumas coinfecções, com maior frequência que a população geral, seja pelo compartilhamento de vias de infecção, seja como consequência das alterações imunológicas induzidas pela própria infecção. Além disso, o HTLV pode alterar a história natural de algumas infecções, nas situações de coinfecção.

Na coinfecção pelo HIV, por exemplo, as evidências sugerem um papel neutro ou mesmo protetor para os coinfectados pelo HTLV-2.110110. Brites C, Sampalo J, Oliveira A. HIV/human T-cell lymphotropic virus coinfection revisited: impact on AIDS progression. AIDS Rev [Internet]. 2009 Jan-Mar [cited 2020 Oct 15] ; 11(1):8-16. Available from: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19290030 /
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19290030...
Entretanto, se essa coinfecção é provocada pelo HTLV-1, os dados existentes evidenciam maior risco de morte, tanto em adultos como em crianças coinfectadas.111111. Pedroso C, Netto EM, Weyll N, Brites C. Coinfection by HIV-1 and human lymphotropic virus type 1 in Brazilian children is strongly associated with a shorter survival time. J Acquir Immune Defic Syndr [Internet]. 2011 Aug [cited 2020 Oct 15] ; 57 Suppl 3:S208-11. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1097/qai.0b013e31821e9baf
https://doi.org/10.1097/qai.0b013e31821e...
As razões desses achados não são muito claras, sendo uma hipótese explicativa o retardo na introdução da terapia antirretroviral, devido à elevação na contagem de células T-CD4+ causada pelo HTLV-1, sem benefícios clínicos. Indivíduos coinfectados, tratados com antirretrovirais e com supressão da viremia do HIV, apresentam sobrevida similar aos monoinfectados nas mesmas condições; porém, naqueles com carga viral detectável, a sobrevida é significativamente menor para os coinfectados.112112. Brites C, Miranda F, Luz E, Netto EM. Early and successful combination antiretroviral therapy normalizes survival time in patients coinfected with human immunodeficiency virus and human T-cell lymphotrophic virus type 1. Clin Infect Dis [Internet]. 2020 Jun [cited 2020 Oct 15] ; 71(1):196-200. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1093/cid/ciz756
https://doi.org/10.1093/cid/ciz756...

Sobre a coinfecção pelo vírus da hepatite C, os dados existentes são conflitantes: enquanto alguns estudos demonstram elevação da viremia do vírus da hepatite C e menor probabilidade de clearance espontâneo da infecção,113113. Boschi-Pinto C, Stuver S, Okayama A , Trichopoulod D, Orav EJ, Tsubouchi H, et al. A followu-p study of morbidity and mortality associated with hepatitis C virus infection and its interaction with human T lymphotropic virus type I in Miyazaki, Japan.

https://doi.org/10.1086/315177...
outros sugerem maior chance de eliminação desse vírus em coinfectados pelo HIV e HTLV, provavelmente devido à imunomodulação provocada pelo HTLV nesse grupo de indivíduos, consequente à elevada produção de citocinas pró-inflamatórias.114114. Brites C, Abrahão M, Bozza P, Netto EM, Lyra A, Bahia F. Infection by HTLV-1 Is associated with high levels of proinflammatory cytokines in HIV-HCV-coinfected patients.

https://doi.org/10.1097/qai.000000000000...
Ademais, há estudos sugestivos de menor dano hepático em indivíduos triplamente infectados - com o HIV, o HTLV e o vírus da hepatite C - e maior chance de clearance espontâneo do vírus da hepatite C.115115.

Os regimes terapêuticos variam de acordo com a apresentação clínica, a progressão dos sintomas e a disponibilidade local dos medicamentos.

As pessoas infectadas devem ser acompanhadas no serviço especializado para receber atendimento de suporte psicológico, com atenção especial para o diagnóstico de manifestações clínicas precoces das diversas manifestações associadas à infecção.

Vigilância, prevenção e controle

Ainda que tenha sido descrita há algumas décadas, a infecção pelo HTLV permanece relativamente desconhecida pela população geral e por profissionais de saúde. Nos serviços que atendem as pessoas infectadas, a abordagem deve-se focar não apenas nos aspectos relacionados ao risco de adoecimento,173173. Zihlmann KF, Alvarenga AT, Casseb J . Living invisible: HTLV-1-Infected persons and the lack of care in public health. PLoS Negl Trop Dis [Internet]. 2012 [cited 2020 Oct 15] ; 6(6):e1705. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pntd.0001705
https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pntd.000...
mas também na orientação sobre prevenção da transmissão da doença.

Após um diagnóstico positivo para a infecção pelo HTLV-1/2, os contatos sexuais devem ser convidados a se submeter a triagem sorológica, e aqueles com testes positivos devem ser encaminhados para aconselhamento e seguimento apropriado. Tal aconselhamento deve incluir informações sobre a cronicidade da infecção e a relevância do seguimento clínico de longo prazo.169169. Ministério da Saúde (BR). Secretaria de Vigilância em Saúde. Guia de manejo clínico da infecção pelo HTLV [Internet]. Brasilia: Ministério da Saúde; 2013 [citado 2019 fev 4]. Disponível em:http://www.sierj.org.br/artigos/htlv_manual_final_pdf_25082.pdf

https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtm...
É importante esclarecer as manifestações clínicas iniciais e sua progressão, os mecanismos de transmissão e sua prevenção. A doação de sangue, sêmen, órgãos sólidos ou tecidos não é recomendada, assim como o aleitamento materno.

Nos serviços de atendimento a pessoas infectadas pelo HIV e outras IST, é importante incluir o rastreamento do HTLV na rotina do cuidado. O indivíduo infectado pelo HTLV deve ser orientado sobre risco de transmissão sexual, parcerias sexuais sorodiscordantes e uso de preservativo - este pode ter seu uso interrompido durante o período fértil, quando houver desejo de engravidar.174174. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention - CDC. Recommendations for counseling persons infected with human T-lymphotrophic virus, types I and II.

https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtm...

No Brasil, dada a escassez de material disponível para os profissionais de saúde e a população geral, várias iniciativas vêm sendo desenvolvidas por grupos acadêmicos e organizações não governamentais para disseminação da informação sobre o HTLV-1/2. Entre as organizações e iniciativas com esse propósito, destacam-se: o Núcleo de Apoio à Pesquisa em Retrovírus (NAP-Retrovírus) da Universidade de São Paulo; os Cadernos da Fundação Hemominas sobre infecção pelo HTLV; a Associação HTLVida; e o Grupo Vitamóre - Associação dos Portadores do HTLV.

A inexistência de um registro nacional de casos prejudica o entendimento do real cenário da infecção no país e, por conseguinte, a implementação de políticas de saúde pública específicas. Cumpre destacar que a notificação de casos é um dos pilares das ações de enfrentamento e pesquisa sobre o HTLV-1 em países como Japão, Inglaterra, Espanha e a ilha de Martinica.175175.

Conclusões

Apesar de a infecção pelo HTLV ser negligenciada, o Brasil conta com iniciativas direcionadas ao enfrentamento da infeção e doença pelo HTLV-1. Os agravos com consequências clínicas relevantes, como a mielopatia associada ao HTLV-1 e a leucemia/linfoma de células T, podem ser minorados com o acesso aos serviços no SUS. Os casos de baixa complexidade podem ser acompanhados nos centros de saúde e, quando necessário, encaminhados aos centros especializados, para tratamento, reabilitação e apoio social. A despeito das graves consequências que a infecção possa acarretar à vida das pessoas, seu controle ainda representa um desafio para a saúde pública. Estudos epidemiológicos nacionais, desenvolvimento de testes diagnósticos comerciais e protocolos clínicos com novas opções terapêuticas podem contribuir para a definição de políticas públicas e ações específicas na abordagem, prevenção, controle e tratamento adequados da infecção pelo HTLV-1/2 no Brasil.

Agradecimento

Aos membros do grupo técnico de especialistas responsáveis pela elaboração do PCDT para Atenção Integral às Pessoas com IST em 2020.
