Objetivo. En respuesta a la creciente amenaza de riesgos pandémicos y la reciente experiencia de la pandemia de Covid-19, la UNAM a través del PUIREE convocó a un análisis multidisciplinario para identificar y priorizar acciones esenciales para la respuesta ante pandemias en México. Material y métodos. Se utilizó el método estructurado de comunicac...
The first level of medical care provides the largest number of consultations for the most frequent diseases at the community level, including acute pharyngitis (AP), acute diarrhoea (AD) and uncomplicated acute urinary tract infections (UAUTIs). The inappropriate use of antibiotics in these diseases represents a high risk for the generation of anti...
Background
Vaccination against COVID-19 is a primary tool for controlling the pandemic. However, the spread of vaccine hesitancy constitutes a significant threat to reverse progress in preventing the disease. Studies conducted in Mexico have revealed that vaccination intention in Mexico among the general population ranges from 62 to 82%.

Background: Vaccination against COVID-19 is a primary tool for controlling the pandemic. However, the spread of vaccine hesitancy constitutes a significant threat to reverse progress in controlling transmissible diseases such as COVID-19. A previous Mexican survey conducted in 2012 showed that the adult population with more years of formal educatio...
In recent years, the increase in antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has been recognized as a real threat to human and animal health. It is a problem that has been given the highest priority, uniting nations in the fight against its causes and effects. Among the actions that have been implemented are: clinical and microbiological surveillance, promotion...
Objective:
To establish the current situation of antimicrobial resistance and antibiotic consumption in Mexican hospitals.
Materials and methods:
Antimicrobial susceptibility data from blood and urine isolates were collected. Defined daily dose (DDD) of antibiotic consumption/100 occupied beds (OBD) was calculated.
Results:
Study period: 2016...
Background
Mexico introduced inactivated polio vaccine (IPV) into its routine immunization (RI) schedule in 2007 but continued to give trivalent oral polio vaccine (tOPV) twice a year during national health weeks (NHW) through 2015.
Objectives
To evaluate individual variables associated with poliovirus (PV) shedding among children with IPV-induced...

Eradication of poliomyelitis seems to be more feasible than ever. During recent years the strategy has reached milestone goals, faced new challenges, and re-configured by itself. In this text we describe the current situation of the polio eradication efforts worldwide and present an analysis of the potential implications and needs regarding vaccina...
Pediculosis capitis is a highly transmissible infestation prevalent worldwide. It is an important public health problem mainly affecting children. The emergence of drug resistance and high rates of treatment failure with several topical agents makes ivermectin, an antiparasitic drug, an attractive therapeutic option for lice control.
To evaluate th...
The pandemic of HIV and AIDS has existed for almost 30 years in the clinical setting. Although there was a surprising reaction during the early years in global public health, for the last 14 years, mainly due to the creation of the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS), a systematic epidemiological surveillance of this disease has ref...
Tuberculosis remains a major human health problem worldwide, and strategies for its prevention include the generation and characterization of new recombinant vaccines containing immunodominant antigens from Mycobacterium tuberculosis. By comparing the secretomes of wild-type Mycobacterium bovis and a PstS1-recombinant M. bovis BCG vaccine substrain...
Pre-existing immunity in individuals is a determinant condition for epidemic dynamics. During the current influenza A (H1N1) virus pandemic, cross-reactivity of seasonal vaccines from the last years and previous contact with seasonal influenza viruses was suggested as the cause of low severity and low incidence of the disease in persons aged 50-65...
To contribute to Mycobacterium bovis BCG characterization, two substrains were analyzed using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2D-PAGE) and mass spectrometry (MS), based on their protective efficacy in a pulmonary-tuberculosis mouse model. Cell-fraction proteins of BCG Denmark and Phipps substrains were separated into approximately 500 spots in...
Tinea pedis and onychomycosis in childhood are unusual, The previous reported prevalence range from 4.2 to 8.2%. In a mestizo population, in the South of Mexico a 3.4% has been found.
To determine the frequency of dermatophytosis of feet and toenails in scholars in an Indian Mazahua community.
A total of 456 children were studied. The age range fro...
Aminoglycosides has been used during the past 40 years. They are polycationic substances produced by actinomycetes. Pharmacokinetic characteristics depend on their polarity. Antimicrobial action is favored by alkalin pH. IM and subcutaneous administration is rapidly absorbed. Penetrates the blood-brain barrier when meninges are inflammed. In patien...
