Declarations
:
: The study protocol, informed consent, and assent were approved by the Research and Ethics Committee of the Faculty of Sciences, Pontificia Universidad Javeriana, on 17 August 2021. Each of the recruited adults voluntarily signed the written informed consent before any study procedure was performed. For subjects less than 6 years old and those in critical condition, signed informed consent was obtained from the parents or the legal guardians. In the case of subjects older than 6 years but younger than 18 years, an informed assent was obtained from the participant, and the parents or legal guardians provided written informed consent. All signed informed consent forms were kept in locked cabinets and were not available to anyone but the principal investigators. The information obtained was deidentified by assigning a numeric code to each subject included in the study. The study procedures, management, conservation of biological specimens, and technical-administrative procedures adhere to health research regulations as stated in resolution 8430 of the Ministry of Health of Colombia from 1993 and Declaration of Helsinki for ethical and medical research in human subjects.
