Steven-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) are part of a spectrum of severe cutaneous adverse reactions, secondary to infections or drug-induced. Although the use of antiseizure medications (ASMs) is a risk factor for the development of SJS/TEN, primary care physicians are not familiar with these cases in some countries. We report a case of SJS associated with ASMs in a nine-year-old girl with a history of difficult-to-control epilepsy, who required adjustment and change in medications.

Unusual co-infection of severe malaria by Plasmodium vivax and dengue virus in Mexico.

Trop Biomed

Laboratorio de Enfermedades Tropicales, Centro de Investigaciones Biomédicas, Universidad Autónoma de Campeche, C.P. 24039 San Francisco de Campeche, Campeche, México.

Malaria and dengue fever are among the most common mosquito-borne diseases worldwide; however, reports of coinfection are rare. We present a case of severe malaria and dengue coinfection in a 16-yearold female patient presenting with fever, thrombocytopenia, pleural effusion, myopericarditis, and acute respiratory distress syndrome. Dengue infection was confirmed by the presence of immunoglobin M antibodies and nonstructural protein 1, while malaria was confirmed by the presence of Plasmodium vivax in thick and thin blood smears.

At the end of 2020 and previous to the second wave of COVID-19 in Mexico, the seroprevalence in unvaccinated people in the state of Campeche, Mexico was below 15 %. The prevalence changes with ongoing pandemic and per geographical areas. Blood donors screening is a powerful and cost-effective alternative to monitor the population's infection exposure.

Article Synopsis
  • * The first organized study on this disease didn't happen until 1996, focusing on two coastal regions in Mexico.
  • * A recent case in the state of Campeche involved a male patient presenting symptoms like fever and a rash, along with prior exposure to Rickettsia reservoirs.

Centro de Investigaciones Biomédicas, Universidad Autónoma de Campeche, Campeche, México.

Among the infectious diseases characterized by a febrile picture are: dengue, leptospirosis, rickettsiosis and salmonellosis, among others. The objective of this study was to identify IgM antibodies against dengue and Leptospira in febrile patientes. The seropositivity for IgM antibodies to dengue was 34%; 26.

Omitted Stimulus Potential Depends on the Sensory Modality.

Acta Neurobiol Exp (Wars)

August 2018

Facultad de Medicina, Universidad Autónoma de Campeche, Colonia Buenavista, San Francisco de Campeche, Campeche, México.

Determining the characteristics of Omitted Stimulus Potential (OSP) parameters using different sensory modalities is important because they reflect timing processes and have a substantial influence on time perception. At the same time, the central mechanisms of time perception associated with sensory processing can modulate cortical brain waves related to cognition. This experiment tested the relationship between parameters of the whole OSP brain wave when trains of auditory, visual or somatosensory stimuli were applied.

The Relationship between Parameters of Long-Latency Evoked Potentials in a Multisensory Design.

Clin EEG Neurosci

October 2016

Centro de Investigaciones Biomédicas, Cuerpo Académico Biomedicina, Universidad Autónoma de Campeche, Campeche, México.

In previous papers, we have shown that parameters of the omitted stimulus potential (OSP), which occurs at the end of a train of sensory stimuli, strongly depend on the modality. A train of stimuli also produces long-latency evoked potentials (LLEP) at the beginning of the train. This study is an extension of the OSP research, and it tested the relationship between parameters (ie, rate of rise, amplitude, and peak latency) of the P2 waves when trains of auditory, visual, or somatosensory stimuli were applied.

[P200 parameters in patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 (DM2)].

September 2016

Facultad de Ciencias Químico-Biológicas, Universidad Autónoma de Campeche, Campeche, Camp., México.

Introduction: A complication underserved in diabetic patients is the cognitive deficits that can reach dementia. Studying the association between electrophysiological, neuropsychological, and biochemical measures could provide a breakthrough in the understanding of this phenomenon.

Objectives: To compare P200 parameters between subjects with and without diabetes mellitus type 2 and to determine their relationship with biochemical and neuropsychological indicators.

Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is a neurological disorder which has not been explored using clustering algorithms. Clustering algorithms perform more efficiently when they work only with relevant features. In this work, we applied correlation-based feature selection (CFS), chi-squared, information gain, symmetrical uncertainty, and consistency filter methods to select the most relevant features from a 156-feature real dataset.
