RESUMEN
Al revisar en la base de datos PubMed los términos “enfermedad psicogénica masiva” y “vacunación”, solo aparecen ocho referencias. Curiosamente todos esos casos asociados con vacunación masiva –con excepción de un brote acaecido en España con hepatitis B - se presentaron en países orientales como China y Taiwan y el virus de influenza AH1N1, Irán después de toxoide tetánico, Vietnam con vacuna oral de cólera y Jordania con un toxoide diftérico-tetánico. No se refiere la literatura a casos asociados a vacunación contra el VPH. Si se solo se investiga el término “enfermedad psicogénica masiva”, las referencias ascienden a 78, ya que estos fenómenos han venido siendo informados desde 1374, refiriéndose a bailes compulsivamente contagiosos o a risa contagiosa, y se asocian con situaciones reales o hasta cierto punto imaginarias que pueden crear pánico en una comunidad.

MASS PSYCOGENIC ILLNESS AFTER A VACCINATION CAMPAIGN, PREVIOUS EPISODES WITH AN APPROACH TO THE COLOMBIAN CASE
ABSTRACT
In reviewing the PubMed database terms "mass psychogenic illness" and "vaccination", only eight references appear. Interestingly enough, all these cases associated with mass vaccination -with the exception of an outbreak occurred in Spain with hepatitis B - occurred in eastern countries like China and Taiwan, with vaccines against AH1N1 flu virus; after tetanus toxoid in Iran, Vietnam with oral cholera vaccine, Jordan with diphtheria-tetanus toxoid. Literature does not refer to cases associated with HPV vaccination. If only the term "mass psychogenic illness" is investigated, references amount to 78, since these phenomena have been reported since 1374, referring to compulsive dancing or to contagious laugh, and are associated with real or in a way, imaginary situations, that may create panic in a community.
Key words: Mass psychogenic illness, vaccination campaign, human papillomavirus.
