A role for extracellular amastigotes in the immunopathology of Chagas disease.

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz - 1 Jan 1999

Scharfstein J, Morrot A

Abstract excerpt

In spite of the growing knowledge obtained about immune control of Trypanosoma cruzi infection, the mechanisms responsible for the variable clinico-pathological expression of Chagas disease remain unknown. In a twist from previous concepts, recent studies indicated that tissue parasitism is a pre-requisite for the development of chronic myocarditis. This fundamental concept, together with the realization that T....
