“…The population of health care workers plays a strategic role to adequately sustain the functioning and response of the health care system in the face of a pandemic, and protecting them is essential. 1 According to the National Ministry of Health of Argentina, 63 837 cumulative cases of COVID-19 had been registered in this group until December 11 th , 2020, which accounted for 4.3% of the total number of cases in our country. 2 As of January 2021, Argentina decided health care workers should be vaccinated against COVID-19 in the first instance, according to a prioritization scheme by exposure and strategic role.…”

Introduction.In Argentina, health care workers have been the first ones to receive the COVID-19 vaccine, but there are still few data on the production of anti-S IgG antibodies.Objectives. To assess specific IgG against the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein (anti-S IgG) after the vaccination of health care workers from a children's hospital. To explore the association between the presence of these antibodies, age, and history of prior infection. Population and methods.Cross-sectional study in 193 workers who received both doses of the twocomponent Sputnik V vaccine. The anti-S IgG antibody titer was measured and age, history of prior SARS-CoV-2 infection, and date of vaccination were recorded.Results. Anti-S IgG antibodies were produced in 98.6% of the subjects. The titer was higher in those with prior infection (p < 0.001), but no relationship was established with subjects' age. Conclusion.We provide data on post-vaccination production of IgG anti-S antibodies among health care workers from a children's hospital and explore some predictors.

From advanced disease to transplantation: an overview of the liver at the time of COVID-19 pandemic

In 2020, the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) also known as coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) disrupted global health, causing hundreds of thousands of deaths worldwide. The liver injury appears to be one of the possible systemic manifestations of COVID-19 disease although the mechanisms causing such injury are not entirely clear. At the beginning of the pandemic, patients with chronic diseases, such as liver cirrhosis, or special populations, such as liver transplant recipients, were considered at higher risk of complications and poor clinical outcomes. Thus, the national transplant programmes have been severely hampered by the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, liver transplant patients are potentially more vulnerable to SARS-CoV-2 infection due to immune suppression, ageing, and metabolic or cardiovascular comorbidities. This review analyses the increasing amounts of data collected in recent months concerning liver cirrhosis and liver transplants to understand if this finding is still relevant with respect to COVID-19 manifestations.

Anticuerpos anti-SARS-CoV-2 en personal de salud de un hospital pediátrico RESUMEN Introducción. En Argentina, el personal de salud ha sido el primero en vacunarse contra COVID-19, pero todavía existen pocos datos sobre la producción de anticuerpos IgG anti-S.Objetivos. Evaluar IgG específica contra glicoproteína spike del SARS-CoV-2 (IgG anti-S) posvacunación en personal de un hospital pediátrico. Explorar la asociación entre presencia de dichos anticuerpos, edad y antecedente de infección previa. Población y métodos.Estudio transversal que incluyó 193 trabajadores vacunados con los dos componentes de la vacuna Sputnik V. Se pesquisó el título de IgG anti-S y se registraron edad, antecedente de infección previa por SARS-CoV-2 y fecha de la vacunación.Resultados. El 98,6 % de los sujetos generó IgG anti-S. El título fue mayor en quienes habían cursado infección previamente (p <0,001), pero no hubo relación con la edad de los sujetos.Conclusión. Aportamos datos de generación de anticuerpos IgG anti-S posvacunación en personal de salud de un hospital pediátrico y exploramos algunos predictores.
