Resumen
Introducción: la infección por el virus de la hepatitis B constituye un importante problema de salud pública a nivel mundial, pues genera una gran carga de morbilidad y mortalidad relacionada con cirrosis y hepatocarcinoma. En áreas de alta prevalencia la transmisión vertical constituye una fuente importante de infección. Objetivo: revisar la presentación de la infección por virus de la hepatitis B en el embarazo y ofrecer pautas para el manejo de esta entidad. Metodología de búsqueda: se realizó una búsqueda bibliográfica en las bases de datos Pubmed, LILACS, SciELO y el motor de búsqueda Google Scholar, de artículos publicados hasta agosto de 2017, utilizando los términos hepatitis B virus AND infection AND pregnancy. Se restringió la búsqueda a artículos de los últimos quince años, en inglés y español, incluyendo artículos de revisión, estudios clínicos controlados y metaanálisis. Se obtuvieron en total 535 manuscritos para revisión, de los cuales 52 fueron referenciados. Desarrollo del tema: los hijos de madres seropositivas para el antígeno de superficie de la hepatitis B deberían recibir inmunoglobulina y vacunación contra la hepatitis B en las primeras doce horas de nacimiento, lográndose reducir la tasa de transmisión vertical desde más del 90% a menos del 10%. La terapia antiviral, al ser administrada en el tercer trimestre de gestación, puede prevenir la falla inmunoprofiláctica, y debería utilizarse en madres con alto riesgo de trasmisión vertical. Datos recientes apuntan acerca de la seguridad de Tenofovir en el embarazo, siendo actualmente el medicamento de elección. Conclusiones: el tamizaje universal en la gestante para la infección por el virus de la hepatitis B es una medida costoefectiva para reducir la transmisión vertical. Los niveles elevados de antígeno de superficie del virus de la hepatitis B y la carga viral materna, así como la presencia de antígeno e, se asocian a mayor riesgo de transmisión vertical. La combinación de inmunoglobulina y vacunación para hepatitis B, administradas dentro de las doce horas posteriores al nacimiento, se asocian a reducción de la tasa de transmisión vertical. El Tenofovir es la mejor opción terapéutica como terapia antiviral iniciado en las semanas 28-32 de gestación en aquellas gestantes con alto riesgo de transmisión de la infección.
