Respiratory Infant Mortality Rate by Month of Birth in Mexico.

Summary: Babies born in the fall in Mexico face a higher risk of severe breathing problems. A new study looked at over 12 million births and found that babies born between September and November, especially in October, had the highest chance of dying from respiratory infections like RSV. The southern parts of Mexico had the highest death rates, while the northeast had the lowest. Because of this seasonal pattern, doctors suggest that giving vaccines and other treatments right before the fall season could save many babies' lives.
