    • Hospital-acquired adenovirus 7h infantile respiratory infection in Chile 
      Palomino Montenegro, María Angélica; Larrañaga, Carmen; Avendaño, Luis Fidel (2000)
      Background. Adenoviruses are the second most common cause of viral acute lower respiratory tract infection (ALRI) requiring hospitalization in Chile. Little information is available with respect to nosocomial infection ...
    • Impaired immune response in severe human lower tract respiratory infection by respiratory syncytial virus 
      Larrañaga, Carmen L.; Ampuero, Sandra L.; Luchsinger, Vivian F.; Carrión, Flavio A.; Aguilar, Nelson V.; Morales, Pamela R.; Palomino Montenegro, María Angélica; Tapia, Lorena F.; Avendaño, Luis F. (Lippincott Williams and Wilkins, 2009)
