    <abstract xml:lang="en">Introduction. Although child maltreatment is related with psychopathologic symptoms, however their clinical prevalence in the general population and more so in specific groups of age and gender, such as female adolescents, has been scarcely documented. Objective. The purpose of the present study was to examine the prevalence mental illness symptoms &#8210;such as post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, and anxiety&#8210; in female adolescent maltreatment victims in Mexico. Method. Fifty-five 12-17-year old female adolescent victims of maltreatment (sexual, physical, and emotional abuse) recruited from four different Mexican institutions were evaluated through clinical scales for post-traumatic stress, depression, and anxiety, in addition to clinical interviews. Results. More than half of the participants presented significant scores of psychopathological symptoms in the three scales evaluated. Discussion and conclusion. The high prevalence of psychopathologic symptoms found in this study suggests that female adolescents who had experienced some form of abuse present highed a susceptibility to develop psychopathology. Results are discussed in the context of their relevance as a public health problem and their implications for professional interventions.</abstract>
    <trans-abstract xml:lang="es">Introducci&oacute;n. Aunque el maltrato infantil se ha asociado con s&iacute;ntomas psicopatol&oacute;gicos, se ha documentado poco la prevalencia cl&iacute;nica que tiene en la poblaci&oacute;n general y a&uacute;n m&aacute;s en grupos espec&iacute;ficos de edad y g&eacute;nero, como en el caso de mujeres adolescentes. Objetivo. El presente estudio tiene como prop&oacute;sito examinar la prevalencia de s&iacute;ntomas de enfermedades mentales como el trastorno de estr&eacute;s postraum&aacute;tico, la depresi&oacute;n y la ansiedad en adolescentes v&iacute;ctimas de maltrato en M&eacute;xico. M&eacute;todo. Se evaluaron 55 mujeres adolescentes v&iacute;ctimas de maltrato (abuso sexual, f&iacute;sico y emocional) de 12 a 17 a&ntilde;os, reclutadas en cuatro diferentes instituciones mexicanas. A todas se les aplicaron entrevistas y escalas cl&iacute;nicas de estr&eacute;s postraum&aacute;tico, depresi&oacute;n y ansiedad. Resultados. M&aacute;s de la mitad de las participantes presentaron altos puntajes de s&iacute;ntomas psicopatol&oacute;gicos en las tres escalas evaluadas. Discusi&oacute;n y conclusi&oacute;n. La alta prevalencia de s&iacute;ntomas psicopatol&oacute;gicos encontrada en este estudio sugiere que las adolescentes que experimentaron alguna forma de abuso presentaron una alta susceptibilidad a desarrollar psicopatolog&iacute;a. Se discuten los resultados en el contexto de su relevancia como un problema de salud p&uacute;blica y sus implicaciones para las intervenciones profesionales correspondientes.</trans-abstract>
