Biologic and genetics aspects of chagas disease at endemic areas

Therefore, the present study evaluated respiratory musculature among patients with Chagas disease, and the possible associations of indeterminate chronic Chagas disease with

In 81 patients with heartburn (44 with esophagitis) taken as controls, 51 patients with Chagas’ disease (21 with esophageal dilatation) and 18 patients with idiopathic achalasia

Chagasic patients were divided into 3 groups: group I (indeterminate form, IF group) consisted of 24 sub- jects with 2 positive serologic reactions for Chagas’ disease and no

To determine the existence and frequency of the phenome- non of post-extrasystolic potentiation in dysynergic myocardial areas of patients with chronic Chagas’ heart disease studied

There is great regional variation in the morbidity due to Chagas disease, and severe cardiac or digestive forms may occur in 10 to 50% of the cases, or the indeterminate form in

Uruguay and Chile were formally certified free of human Chagas disease transmission in 1997 and 1999 re- spectively, and six of the previously endemic states of Brazil were
