          Abstract

          La epidemia de gripe española en Argentina es una realidad olvidada, dado que por diversas razones hasta ahora no se ha tomado como objeto de investigación. Lo cierto es que esta epidemia formó parte de la realidad del país al generar una alta mortalidad y poner al desnudo la impotencia del Estado y de la élite médica frente a un fenómeno difícil de combatir. En este artículo pretendemos realizar un primer análisis de su incidencia, en términos de la mortalidad que provocó en cada una de las provincias argentinas y en el país en su totalidad; su avance por el territorio argentino; las razones de su caprichoso recorrido y las condiciones sociales y sanitarias de la población. Por último, hacemos una referencia a las políticas que se implementaron para combatirla y su impacto en términos políticos y sociales.

          Translated abstract

          The Spanish Influenza epidemic in Argentina is a forgotten reality, since up to now, and because of several reasons, it has not been considered as a research object. The truth is that this epidemic produced a high mortality, and exhibited the powerlessness of the State and the medical elite, facing a phenomenon difficult to fight. In this article, a preliminary analysis of its incidence is undertaken, giving an account of the mortality provoked in each Argentinean province and nationwide; its progression throughout the territory of Argentina; the reasons for its whimsical path of development, and the social and sanitary conditions prevailing among the population. Finally, we refer to the policies implemented to combat this epidemic and their social and political impacts.
