Chagas Disease: Chronic Chagas Cardiomyopathy
Current Problems in Cardiology, 2021Chagas disease (CD) is a tropical vector-borne infection caused by the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi (T. cruzi), also known as American Trypanosomiasis. It is considered endemic in all South and Central America and in this past decades its becoming a burden particularly in the United States and Europe due to human migration. The vast majority of

Chagas disease is an anthropozoonosis from the American continent that has spread from its original boundaries through migration. It is caused by the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi, which was identified in the first decade of the 20th century. Once acute infection resolves, patients can develop chronic disease, which in up to 30-40% of cases is ...

Abstract Chagas disease is a prominent neglected tropical disease endemic to many countries in Latin America. Cardiomyopathy is the most serious manifestation due to the severity and complications of heart failure. As a result of expanded immigration and globalization, there is an increased number of patients with Chagas cardiomyopathy who are being ...

The American Journal of the Medical Sciences, 2022
Chagas disease, caused by infection with the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi, is one of the leading public health problems in the Western Hemisphere. The parasite is mainly transmitted by contact with infected insect vectors but other forms of transmission are important in endemic areas.

Infectious Disease Clinics of North America, 1994
Chagas' disease is one of the most important public health problems in South America and Mexico. Migrations from rural areas into urban zones have contributed to the spread of the disease. The main targets of the disease within the body are the heart, the alimentary tract, and the nervous system.

Carlos Chagas and Chagas' Disease
The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1977Few medical eponyms deserve perpetuation. Their origin often is obscure, their validity dubious, and the honor (if it be an honor) frequently undeserved. Not so for Chagas' disease. The reason American trypanosomiasis is better known throughout the world by its eponym is recorded in these words of Miguel Couto (who was described as the best Brazilian ...

Parasitology Today, 1988
Mexico - the northernmost country of Latin America - has long been thought to have an unusually low prevalence of Chagas disease compared with other Latin American countries. This has seemed unusual because of the large number of vector species and subspecies reported from the country, and the social and ecological conditions that seem to parallel ...

Autoimmunity and Chagas’ Disease
1989The protozoan flagellate Trypanosoma cruzi is the causative agent of Chagas’ disease and has been estimated to infect between 10 and 12 million people in Central and South America (WHO 1960). T. cruzi has a complex life cycle involving stages in both a vertebrate and an insect vector host, the reduviid or assassin bugs, members of the subfamily ...

Chagas disease is a tropical disease now making its appearance in the United States as more immigration from Latin America occurs. Pregnant women with chronic infection with Trypanosoma cruzi may present with cardiac or gastrointestinal symptoms and transmit the infection to their fetuses.A 32-year-old Mexican woman presented with cardiac symptoms at ...
