A critical evaluation of the expression of parasitemia in experimental Chagas' disease

The Colombian strain, on the contrary, determined intense myotropism, with involvement of myocardium and skeletal muscle in mice infected by intragastric route, being the tissue

The objective of the present article is to evaluate, after a long follow up period, the results of specific chemotherapy with benznidazole of patients treated, both during the acute

This work compared the time at which negative seroconversion was detected by conventional serology (CS) and by the ELISA-F29 test on a cohort of chronic chagasic patients treated

Levels of IgM antibodies to B13 recombinant protein, to LPPG glycoconjugate and to an epimastigote alkaline extract (EPI) were deter- mined by ELISA in 20 acute phase chagasic

Although the rates of MHC-loading and surface expression may vary from one type of host cell to another, it is rea- sonable to predict that the most infected target cells should

Therefore, both parasites and heart tissue appear to be important to explain diffuse and progressive inflammatory lesions of the cardiac form, since parasites outside the heart

Effect of the treatment on the evolution of Chagas disease Since 1969 several therapeutic experiences have been performed in acute and chronic cases of Chagas disease using

According to standard Pan American Health Orga- nization procedures (PAHO 2007), the following rates were calculated: the infestation rates of each of the mu-
