    • Adenovirus and respiratory syncytial virus-adenovirus mixed acute lower respiratory infections in Chilean infants 
      Palomino Montenegro, María Angélica; Larrañaga, Carmen; Villagra, Eliecer; Camacho, Jorge; Avendaño, Luis Fidel C. (LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2004-04)
      Background. In Chile respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and adenovirus (AD) are the principal viruses detected in acute lower respiratory infections (ALRI) in infants. An overview of AD pneumonia in Chile to detect annual ...
    • Detection of Mycoplasma pneumoniae in adult community-acquired pneumonia by PCR and serology 
      Martínez Tagle, María Angélica; Ruiz, Mauricio; Zunino, Enna; Luchsinger Farías, Vivian; Avendaño, Luis Fidel C. (Society for General Microbiology, 2008)
      Diagnosis of pneumonia caused by Mycoplasma pneumoniae in adults is hampered by a lack of rapid and standardized tests for detection. This prospective study was conducted to compare the diagnostic values of an indirect ...
    • Detection of Pneumocystis carinii f. sp hominis and viruses in presumably immunocompetent infants who died ... 
      Vargas Munita, Sergio; Ponce, Carolina A.; Luchsinger Farías, Vivian; Silva, Cecilia; Gallo, Myriam; López, René; Belletti, José; Velozo Papez, Luis; Avila, Ricardo; Palomino Montenegro, María Angélica; Benveniste Dinar, Samuel; Avendaño, Luis Fidel C. (UNIV CHICAGO PRESS, 2005-06-01)
      Fresh-frozen lung and tracheal-aspirate specimens obtained from 112 infants who died in Santiago, Chile, during 1998-2000 were analyzed for the presence of Pneumocystis DNA, by use of nested DNA amplification of the large ...
    • Human Caliciviruses Are a Significant Pathogen of Acute Sporadic Diarrhea in Children of Santiago, Chile 
      O'Ryan Gallardo, Miguel; Mamani, Nora; Gaggero Brillouet, Aldo; Avendaño, Luis Fidel C.; Prieto, Susana; Peña, Alfredo; Jiang, Xi; Matson, David O. (2000)
      Human caliciviruses (HuCVs) are increasingly recognized as common pathogens that cause acute sporadic diarrhea in children; however, regional antigenic and genetic diversity complicate detection techniques. Stool samples ...
    • Human respiratory syncytial virus genomic and antigenic variants isolated in two hospitals during one ... 
      Luchsinger Farías, Vivian; Elgueta Noy, Andrea; Avendaño, Luis Fidel C. (ELSEVIER, 2008-07)
      Background: Human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV) is a major cause of severe lower respiratory tract infection (LRI) in children. Distinct variants of the viruses have been described. Objective: The objective was to ...
    • Macrophage Impairment Underlies Airway Occlusion in Primary Respiratory Syncytial Virus Bronchiolitis 
      Reed, Jennifer L.; Brewah, Yambasu A.; Delaney, Tracy; Welliver, Timothy; Burwell, Timothy; Benjamin, Ebony; Kuta, Ellen; Kozhich, Alexander; McKinney, Luann; Suzich, Joann; Kiener, Peter A.; Avendaño, Luis Fidel C.; Velozo Papez, Luis; Humbles, Alison; Welliver, Robert C.; Coyle, Anthony J. (UNIV CHICAGO PRESS, 2008-12-15)
      Although respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection is the most important cause of bronchiolitis in infants, the pathogenesis of RSV disease is poorly described. We studied histopathologic changes in a panel of lung tissue ...
    • Molecular characterization of hospital-acquired adenovirus infantile respiratory infection in Chile using ... 
      Larrañaga, Carmen; Martínez, Jorge H. Angélica; Palomino Montenegro, María Angélica; Pena, Mónica C.; Carrión, Flavio; Avendaño, Luis Fidel C. (2007)
      Background: Adenovirus serotypes 7, 2 and 1 are the second most common cause of viral acute lower respiratory tract infection (ALRI) requiring hospitalization in Chile. Nosocomial outbreaks have high secondary attack and ...
    • Severe human lower respiratory tract illness caused by respiratory syncytial virus and influenza virus is ...
