RESUMEN
El coqueluche es una enfermedad inmunoprevenible que puede amenazar la vida. A pesar de la vacunación en lactantes desde los 2 meses de edad, se siguen presentando casos y brotes a nivel nacional y mundial, con un alto riesgo de morbimortalidad en los menores de 6 meses. Se ha planteado que la vacunación antenatal con componente pertussis acelular (Tdpa) sería útil, segura y efectiva, dado que transfiere una alta tasa de anticuerpos al niño, disminuyendo en 85% la incidencia de coqueluche en este grupo. No se ha encontrado mayor incidencia de efectos adversos en embarazadas con esta vacuna. Esta estrategia ha sido implementada en varios países desarrollados y de Latinoamérica. El objetivo del presente manuscrito es revisar y discutir los beneficios de la vacunación antenatal con Tdpa. Se concluye que se debiera promover la inmunización materna con vacuna Tdpa para prevenir la infección y mortalidad asociada en el menor de 6 meses de vida por Bordetella pertussis.
ABSTRACT
Whooping cough is an immune preventable disease that can be life threatening. Despite infant immunization starting at 2 month of age, there are many cases and outbreaks in our country and also around the world, with a high risk of mortality specially in infants under 6 month of age. It has been proposed that antenatal vaccination with acellular pertussis component (Tdap) would be useful, safe and effective since it transfers a high antibody rate to the child, reducing the incidence of pertussis in this group by 85%. No higher incidence of adverse effects has been found in pregnant women with this vaccine. This strategy has been implemented in several developed and Latin American countries. The purpose of this manuscript is to review and discuss the benefits of antenatal vaccination with Tdap. It was concluded that maternal immunization with Tdap vaccine should be promoted to prevent infection and associated mortality in the less than 6 months of age by Bordetella pertussis.
