Little Mauricio was referred from Mario Catarino Rivas Hospital and was admitted to Ruth Paz Hospital on April 2. He suffered burns from direct flame exposure on March 26. Due to an electrical short circuit at his home, the curtain near the crib where he was sleeping caught fire, reaching part of his face, left hand, and left leg. He has second-degree IIB burns covering 8.5% of his body.

On April 3, he underwent his first surgical wound cleaning and debridement. He is currently being treated with special creams and is receiving pain management and antibiotic coverage. At this time, Mauricio is progressing well.

The little boy lives with his family in the village of Ceibita, in the municipality of Esparta, Atlántida. His father, who covers all the household expenses, works as a milkman and earns a monthly income of L. 3,200.
