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.

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.

American Trypanosomiasis (Chagas' Disease)
Gastroenterology Clinics of North America, 1994Gastrointestinal dysfunction is a major problem for many patients with chronic Chagas' disease, as are cardiac dysrhythmias and cardiomyopathy. The underlying anatomic abnormality in these patients is a denervation of the gastrointestinal tract. This process of nerve destruction usually develops insidiously over many years, and it is highly variable in

Chagas disease (human American trypanosomiasis) is a zoonose caused by the protozoan Trypanosoma cruzi. Vectors are Triatoma spp. insects. T. cruzi can also be transmitted by blood transfusion, organ transplantation, and transplacentally. Infection is generally acquired during infancy.
