14â16 The neuronal loss in Chagas heart disease has been postulatedto occur predominantly during the acute phase of the infec-tion, with participation of 3 mechanisms: direct parasitism ofneurons, degeneration caused by periganglionic inflamma-tion, and antineuronal autoimmune reaction.nly inthe late 1940s, through improved specific serological tests todetect antibodies against T cruzi, the clinical syndromes ofmegaesophagus, megacolon, and heart failure, by then ofunknown cause, were ascribed to Chagas disease, and the firstreport of cardiac neuronal damage appeared in the literature.
Chagas disease is caused by a parasite. It is common in Latin America but not in the United States. Infected blood-sucking bugs, sometimes called kissing bugs, spread it. When the bug bites you, usually on your face, it leaves behind infected waste. You can get the infection if you rub it in your eyes or nose, the bite wound or a cut.
