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.
Antiparasitic treatment is indicated for all cases of acute or reactivated Chagas disease and for chronic Trypanosoma cruzi infection in children up to age 18.Congenital infections are considered acute disease.or emergencies (for example, acute Chagas disease with severe manifestations, Chagas disease in a newborn, or Chagas disease in an immunocompromised person) outside of regular business hours, call the CDC Emergency Operations Center (770-488-7100) and ask for the person on call for Parasitic Diseases.
