Detection of Trypanosoma cruzi antibodies in multitransfused patients in Colombia.
CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study showed a low frequency of T. cruzi infection in multitransfused patients, suggesting that the risk of transfusion infection in Colombia is low. Known risk factors for transfusion-related infection were not associated with the presence of anti-T. cruzi antibodies.
