RESUMEN
La hepatitis A (HA) presenta una evolución benigna, pero en ocasiones puede causar una insuficiencia hepática aguda con necesidad de trasplante. En 2003, en un consenso realizado en la Sociedad Argentina de Pediatría, se recomendó la incorporación de la vacuna contra la HA en el calendario nacional. Esto se concretó por decreto ministerial y se efectivizó a partir del 1 de junio de 2005, con la obligación de aplicar una dosis de la vacuna a todos los niños al año de edad. Desde entonces, se registró una disminución marcada de casos y no se documentaron cuadros de insuficiencia hepática aguda desde el año 2006. Los estudios de seguimiento mostraron, hasta el momento, una circulación viral baja y la persistencia de anticuerpos hasta los 5 años posteriores a su introducción.
ABSTRACT
Hepatitis A (HA) presents a benign evolution, but occasionally some patients develop a more severe disease. Previously to 2005 hepatitis A was an important cause of acute liver failure (ALF) and hepatic transplant. In 2003, a consensus in the Argentinian Pediatrics Society was done; it had just recommended the inclusion of the vaccine in the mandatory immunisation schedule. This was issued by the Health Ministery, and was applied on June 1st, 2005. The schedule was one dose at the age of one year of age. Since then, an important reduction of HA was registered, without any case of ALF since 2006. Follow-up studies so far showed low viral circulation and persistence of antibodies to 5 years later.
