Diagnosis of Acute Chagas Disease in a Belizean Child with Evidence of a Multiclonal Trypanosoma cruzi Infection
Am J Trop Med Hyg. 2022 Nov 14;107(5):992-995. doi: 10.4269/ajtmh.22-0338. Print 2022 Nov 14.ABSTRACTIn January 2020, we instituted acute febrile illness surveillance in 11 hospitals and clinics across Belize. Within 3 months, we diagnosed an acute case of Chagas disease by polymerase chain reaction in a 7-year-old child in the northern part of the country. Phylogenetic analyses of the parasite from the acute blood specimen revealed a multiclonal Trypanosoma cruzi infection, including parasites from the TcII (25.0% of haplotypes), TcIV (2.5% of haplotypes), and TcV (72.5% of haplotypes) discrete typing units. The family re...

Chronic Chagas cardiomyopathy: characterization of cases and possibilities of action in primary healthcare
Cad Saude Publica. 2022 Jun 8;38(6):e00290321. doi: 10.1590/0102-311XEN290321. eCollection 2022.ABSTRACTDespite the drastic decrease in the incidence of Chagas disease in Brazil, past cases still greatly impact health services in the country. Thus, this study aimed to characterize Chagas disease cases regarding their cardiac staging and death prognosis and, based on that, to propose primary healthcare (PHC) case follow-ups. This is a cross-sectional study based on secondary data from the medical records of patients with chronic Chagas cardiomyopathy (CCC). A logistic regression was applied to estimate crude and adjusted od...
