Introduction
I am a pediatric infectious disease physician-scientist. My work has focused on congenital infections and viral respiratory diseases. I have studied the epidemiology and burden of congenital cytomegalovirus, respiratory syncytial virus, influenza, SARS-CoV-2 and other respiratory pathogens. Current work focuses on Chagas disease, respiratory viruses, and cytomegalovirus.

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), a leading cause of lower respiratory tract infections, is classified in two major groups (A and B) with multiple genotypes within them. Continuous changes in spatiotemporal distribution of RSV genotypes have been recorded since the identification of this virus. However, there are no established criteria for genoty...

Background: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the leading cause of severe acute respiratory infections (ARI) in preterm infants. The incidence of RSV-associated hospitalizations has not been defined in Mexico. Objectives: To determine the incidence of ARI- and RSV-associated hospitalizations in preterm infants during the first year of life....
Article
In 2022, several countries reported an increase in respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infections. We assessed the clinical characteristics and outcomes of infants hospitalized with RSV and compared them with infants hospitalized between 2009 and 2015. No significant differences in underlying disorders, intensive care unit admission rates and mortali...

Mumps is an acute, contagious viral illness. Parotid gland swelling is the typical clinical manifestation, but many organ systems may be affected. Hearing loss (HL) is rare but a significant complication of the disease. Since it is vaccine-preventable, childhood mumps has become an uncommon disease in countries where measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vac...

Human metapneumovirus (HMPV) is an important respiratory pathogen and is divided in two main groups (A and B). HMPV strains with partial duplications (111-nt and 180-nt duplication) of the G gene have been reported in recent years. Since the initial reports, viruses with these characteristics have been reported in several countries. We analyzed all...
Article
Cytomegalovirus infection occurs commonly during infancy. Postnatal infection in term infants is usually asymptomatic; however, infection in preterm infants can be associated with clinical manifestations during the neonatal period. Nevertheless, few studies to assess the frequency of cytomegalovirus infection in preterm infants have been performed...
