  • Title: Reactivation of Chagas' disease leading to the diagnosis of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.
    Author: de Oliveira Santos E, dos Reis Canela J, Gomes Monção HC, Guedes Roque MJ.
    Journal: Braz J Infect Dis; 2002 Dec; 6(6):317-21. PubMed ID: 12585977.
    Abstract:
    Reactivation of chronic Chagas' disease is a rare condition and occurs only in immunosuppressed patients. We report a case of a patient with a rapid and fatal reactivation of Chagas' disease, manifested by meningoencephalitis, which lead to a diagnosis of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). We believe there is sufficient evidence to include the reactivation of Chagas' disease among the diagnostic criteria of AIDS in Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection.
