    Abstract:
    An AIDS-Chagas association has been extensively reported in the literature specially in cardiac and cerebral localizations. A case is presented of a 36 year old male patient with a diagnosis of AIDS and positive serology for Chagas, as well as chronic hepatopathy and CD4 cell count of 31. While in the hospital he developed ascitis which revealed the presence of numerous tripomastigote forms of T. cruzi in the ascitic fluid. This clinical presentation of Chagasic reactivation has not been reported in the literature.
