Current situation and perspectives regarding human Chagas disease in midwestern of the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil
Recognising the importance of Chagas disease in Brazil, Bambuí set up epidemiological surveillance for Chagas disease in 1974 and was the first municipality to do so. To ascertain the current epidemiology of Chagas disease in this municipality, 1.782 blood samples from the general population were an...

| description | Recognising the importance of Chagas disease in Brazil, Bambuí set
up epidemiological surveillance for Chagas disease in 1974 and was the
first municipality to do so. To ascertain the current epidemiology of
Chagas disease in this municipality, 1.782 blood samples from the
general population were analysed; 7.7% of samples were found to be
seropositive for Chagas disease. A strong positive correlation between
increasing age and Chagas disease was evident in both genders, with the
highest prevalence in individuals aged over 60 years. Clinically, the
cardiodigestive form of Chagas disease was the most common in these
samples. These data confirm the interruption of Trypanosoma cruzi
transmission, in parallel with a still important residual morbidity of
Chagas disease in the county, thus supporting political decisions that
will prioritise epidemiological surveillance and medical treatment of
Chagas disease in the coming years. |
