RESUMEN
La enfermedad meningocócica, aunque poco frecuente, es severa y puede causar la muerte en 10% de quienes la contraen, de allí la importancia de la inmunización para prevenirla. existen varias clases de vacunas, como las polisacáridas que aun cuando pueden inducir protección, no son inmunogénicas en niños menores de 2 años ni inducen inmunidad de rebaño. la administración de dosis de refuerzoproduce hiporespuesta. Las vacunas conjugadas pueden ser monovalentes como la serogrupo c que demostró una reducción en un 93% de la enfermedad en poblaciones con altas coberturas vacunales, y las tetravalentes Ac W135, y/d (conjugada al toxoide diftérico y A; c, W135, y/crM139 conjugada a una mutante no tóxica de toxina diftérica Ambas son inmunogénicas y seguras. estudios epidemiológicos con A; c; W135, y/d descartan aumento de riesgo al síndrome de Guillain Barre (sGB) posterior a su administración. se recomienda administrar dosis única a adolescentes más un refuerzo. el personal de alto riesgo a la enfermedad (Asplenia anatómica o funcional, alteración del complemento, déficit de Properdina, vIh) deben recibir dos dosis más refuerzos cada cinco años
ABSTRACT
Meningococcal disease is a rare but serious infection, up to 10% of persons who contract disease die, so it is very important to immunized for Meningococcal disease protection and prevention. there are two types of vaccine Polysaccharides that even though induces protection ,is not immunogenic in children younger of 2 years, don’t induce herd immunity and produce hypo responsivenessto a booster dose. conjugate vaccines can be monovalent serogroup c which demonstrated 93% reduction of serogroups c disease in population with high vaccine coverage. Also there are two quadrivalent serogroups A;c;W135;y vaccines one conjugate to d(difteric toxoid) and other to /crM 139(mutant no toxic of dfsteric toxin. studies showed their immunogenicity up to 55 years and boths are safes. epidemiological study with A;c;W135,y/d disproves any evidence of increased risk to sGB after its administration recommended schedule is to immunized all adolescent, with a dose plus a booster. high risk people of invasive meningococcal disease (anatomic or functional asplenia,terminal complement or prperdin deficiencies,hIv) should rereceived, 2 doses, plus boostersevery 5 years
