    IntroducciónAunque el abuso sexual en la infancia (ASI) es un factor de riesgo para desarrollar depresión mayor en la vida adulta de las mujeres, la información sobre las características clínicas asociadas con este evento es escasa.ObjetivoEvaluar la historia de ASI y su asociación con algunas manifestaciones clínicas en mujeres con depresión mayor.MétodoSe seleccionaron 71 mujeres adultas con depresión mayor en un centro comunitario de salud mental. Fueron evaluadas con Mini Entrevista Neuropsiquiátrica Internacional, Inventario de Depresión de Beck, Escala de Autoevaluación de Adaptación Social, Índice de Maltrato Físico e Índice de Abuso Sexual en la Infancia.Resultados53.5 % había sufrido alguna forma de ASI. No hubo diferencias significativas en edad, escolaridad, sintomatología depresiva, adaptación social o maltrato físico en la infancia entre las mujeres con y sin historia de ASI, solo mayor frecuencia de comorbilidad con el trastorno por ansiedad social (26 versus 6 %) y mayor proporción de riesgo suicida (68 versus 45.4 %) distinguió a los grupos.ConclusiónPocas características distinguen a las mujeres con depresión mayor con historia de ASI, sin embargo, el pronóstico y las implicaciones terapéuticas del mayor riesgo suicida subrayan la importancia de investigar sistemáticamente la historia de ASI entre las mujeres con depresión mayor.IntroductionEven when child sexual abuse (CSA) is a risk factor for the development of major depression in adult women, data on the clinical features associated with this traumatic event are scarce.ObjectiveTo assess the history of CSA and its association with some clinical manifestations in women with major depression.MethodSeventy-one adult women with major depression were selected in a community-based mental health center. They were assessed with the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview, the Beck Depression Inventory, the Social Adaptation Self-evaluation Scale, and childhood physical maltreatment and child sexual abuse indices.ResultsSome form of CSA had been suffered by 53.5%. There were no significant differences in age, level of education, depressive symptoms, social adaptation or physical maltreatment during childhood between the women with or without a history of CSA, only a higher frequency of comorbid social anxiety disorder (26% versus 6%) and a higher proportion of suicide risk (68% versus 45.4%) differentiated the groups.ConclusionFew characteristics distinguish women with major depression with a history of CSA; however, the prognosis and therapeutic implications of a higher suicide risk underscore the importance of systematically investigating the history of CSA among women with major depression.Copyright: © 2018 SecretarÍa de Salud.
