Descriptor English: Cytopathogenic Effect, Viral
Descriptor Spanish: Efecto Citopatogénico Viral
Descriptor efecto citopatogénico viral
Entry term(s) efecto citopático viral
Scope note: Cambios morfológicos visibles en células infestadas por virus. Incluye la inhibición de la síntesis de ARN celular y de proteínas, fusión celular, liberación de enzimas lisosómicas, cambios de la permeabilidad de la membrana celular, cambios difusos de las estructuras intracelulares, presencia de cuerpos de inclusión virales, y aberraciones cromosómicas. Excluye la transformación maligna, que es la TRANSFORMACIÓN CELULAR VIRAL. Los efectos citopatogénicos virales aportan un valioso método para la identificación y clasificación de los virus que producen la infección.

Scope note: Visible morphologic changes in cells infected with viruses. It includes shutdown of cellular RNA and protein synthesis, cell fusion, release of lysosomal enzymes, changes in cell membrane permeability, diffuse changes in intracellular structures, presence of viral inclusion bodies, and chromosomal aberrations. It excludes malignant transformation, which is CELL TRANSFORMATION, VIRAL. Viral cytopathogenic effects provide a valuable method for identifying and classifying the infecting viruses.
