The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of parasite clearance on the immunological profile of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from chagasic patients submitted to specific drug therapy. PBMC were examined by flow cytometry and proliferative responsiveness to Trypanosoma cruzi-related stimuli. Three groups of patients were studied: not treated (NT), treated not cured (TNC) and cured (C). All data...
