    Author: Guzmán-Bracho C, Lahuerta S, Velasco-Castrejón O.
    Journal: Arch Med Res; 1998; 29(2):195-6. PubMed ID: 9650338.
    Abstract:
    This is the first report of a congenitally transmitted case of Chagas disease occurring in Mexico, in a febrile premature newborn girl with low birth weight, hepatosplenomegaly and pneumonitis. Trypanosoma cruzi blood infection was detected using both direct smears and concentrated blood preparations. The patient's mother had a positive serological reaction by two techniques for anti-T. Cruzi antibodies. Two years after anti-chagastic treatment, the child has had a normal evolution, her serology is negative, and no abnormalities have been detected by electrocardiography.
