How to improve the early diagnosis of Trypanosoma cruzi infection: Relationship between validated conventional diagnosis and quantitative DNA amplification in congenitally infected children [PDF]

, 2013
BACKGROUND: According to the Chagas congenital transmission guides, the diagnosis of infants, born to Trypanosoma cruzi infected mothers, relies on the detection of parasites by INP micromethod, and/or the persistence of T. cruzi specific antibody titers
