Abstract | The incidence of transmission of Trypanosoma cruzi from infected mothers to offspring was determined in a hospital-based study of conceptuses weighing more then 2000 g. Out of 186 mother-conceptus pars examined, theree cases of congenital Chagas' disease (two livebirths and one stillbirth) were identified, an incidence of 1.6 per cent. Direct microscopic examination of the child's blood by the microhematocrit technique was found to be as sensitive as xenodiagnosis in detecting infection. The clinico-pathological data of the congenital cases are presented. | pt_BR |
