Viera, Iván Ariel COVID-19 COVID-19 en Argentina Inmunidad Recurrencia Reinfección Coronavirus COVID-19 COVID-19 in Argentina Immunity Recurrence Reinfection Coronavirus Until the end of 2019, Covid-19 was an unknown virus. Its emergence and rapid expansion surprised the international medical community. Beyond the ease of contagion and its potential severity, the growing number of patients who, after being discharged, relapse and sometimes die, is causing significant concern. To this date, six confirmed cases of reinfection have been registered worldwide. It is a minimum number in the universe of infected people. However, is the immunity against reinfection temporary? Should we be concerned as long as the immune mechanisms are largely unknown? In order to answer these questions, we present this review with aiming to analyze the recurrence of Covid-19 infections. Between October 20th and 27th, 2020, and March 1st and 3rd, 2021, a bibliographic review was carried out through the Google search engine in the databases Pubmed / Medline, Scielo, Scopus, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, official and specialized sites. The following descriptors were applied as inclusion criteria: Covid-19, immunity, relapse, reinfection, Covid-19 in Argentina. In the framework of the review, the main findings were: 1) the scientific evidence is insufficient to affirm that a discharged patient has a high chance of being reinfected with Covid-19; 2) immunity against reinfection is temporary; and 3) given the possibility of recurrence and the lack of conclusive evidence on immunological response, it should still be recommended to maintain basic prevention and biosafety measures. Hasta finales del 2019, el Covid-19 era un virus desconocido. Su aparición y rápida expansión sorprendió a la comunidad médica internacional. Más allá de la facilidad de contagio y su potencial gravedad, actualmente está causando mayor conmoción el creciente número de pacientes que después de ser dados de alta, recaen y en ocasiones fallecen. A esta fecha se han registrado seis casos de reinfección comprobada a nivel mundial. Es una cantidad mínima en el universo de personas infectadas. No obstante, ¿la inmunidad contra la reinfección es temporal?, ¿debemos preocuparnos mientras los mecanismos inmunológicos sean desconocidos en profundidad? A fin de encontrar respuesta a estos interrogantes, se planteó como objetivo analizar la recurrencia de infecciones de Covid-19. Para eso, entre los días 20 al 27 de octubre de 2020, y del 1 al 3 de marzo de 2021, se realizó una revisión bibliográfica a través del buscador Google en las bases de datos Pubmed/Medline, Scielo, Scopus, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, sitios oficiales y especializados. Como criterios de inclusión se aplicaron los descriptores: Covid-19, inmunidad, reincidencia, reinfección, Covid-19 en Argentina. En el marco de la revisión, los principales hallazgos son: 1) las pruebas médico-científicas son insuficientes para afirmar que un paciente dado de alta tiene muchas posibilidades para reinfectarse con Covid-19; 2) la inmunidad contra la reinfección es temporal; y 3) ante la posibilidad de recurrencia y la falta de evidencia concluyente sobre la estabilidad inmunológica, la recomendación más acertada para cualquier ciudadano es mantener las medidas de prevención y bioseguridad.
