Neuromuscular transmission studies in human chronic Chagas' disease.
An electrophysiological investigation of the state of the neuromuscular transmission (nmt) was carried out in 58 patients with the diagnosis of chronic Chagas' disease. On repetitive supramaximal nerve stimulation it was found that some patients did not show abnormalities, others had decremental muscle responses, others developed enhancement of the muscle evoked potential amplitudes, while some...
متن کاملCognitive impairment in human chronic Chagas' disease.
UNLABELLED We proposed to investigate subclinical cognitive impairment secondary to chronic Chagas' disease (CCD). No similar study was previously done. The neuropsychological performance of 45 chronic Chagasic patients and 26 matched controls (age, education place and years of residency in endemic area) was compared using the Mini Mental State Exam (MMSE), Weschler Memory Scale (WMS) and the W...
متن کاملActive transmission of human chagas disease in Colima Mexico.
Despite efforts to eradicate American trypanosomiasis (AT) and Chagas disease from the Americas, there are still areas of active transmission that can eventually become a source of reinfection in previously controlled regions. Mexico could be one of those areas, where there are no formal preventive control programs despite the presence of communities infested by Triatominae bugs infected with T...
متن کاملOral transmission of Chagas disease.
Chagas disease is now an active disease in the urban centers of countries of nonendemicity and endemicity because of congenital and blood and/or organ transplantation transmissions and the reactivation of the chronic disease in smaller scale than vectorial transmission, reported as controlled in countries of endemicity. Oral transmission of Chagas disease has emerged in unpredictable situations...
متن کاملPasteurization of human milk to prevent transmission of Chagas disease.
Although admittedly transmission of Trypanosoma cruzi infection through breastfeeding is a rare event, it involves serious risks. To test the effectiveness of pasteurization in preventing this mode of infection, three sets of samples of human milk were tested: a - contaminated with T. cruzi and pasteurized; b - contaminated with T. cruzi and non-pasteurized; c - non-contaminated and pasteurized...
