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 ...

Obstetrics & Gynecology, 1995
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 ...

AIDS Patient Care and STDs, 2000
Chagas' disease can reactivate in patients with AIDS and present as a brain mass lesion or an acute diffuse meningoencephalitis indistinguishable from other opportunistic infections or neoplastic processes, such as toxoplasma encephalitis or central nervous system (CNS) primary lymphoma.

Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, 1976
Two different histological types of congenital Chagas disease are defined. In one type, parasites were seen within the skeletal and cardiac fibers, and in the other, they are found mostly within the cells of the reticuloendothelial system. The latter was often associated with parasitized giant-cells with a single, lobulated, hyperchromatic nucleus.
