We conducted a prospective, multicenter, randomized study involving 2854 patients with Chagas' cardiomyopathy who received benznidazole or placebo for up to 80 days and were followed mean of 5.4 years. The primary outcome in the time-to-event analysis was first event any components composite death, resuscitated cardiac arrest, sustained ventricular tachycardia, insertion pacemaker implantable cardioverter–defibrillator, transplantation, new heart failure, stroke, other thromboembolic event.
Chagas' disease is an important health problem in Latin America, and cardiac involvement associated with substantial morbidity mortality. We developed a model to predict the risk of death patients heart disease.

Chagas heart disease (CHD) results from infection with the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi and is leading cause of infectious myocarditis worldwide. It poses a substantial public health burden due to high morbidity mortality. CHD also most serious frequent manifestation chronic appears in 20-40% infected individuals between 10-30 years after original acute infection. In recent decades, numerous clinical experimental investigations have shown that low-grade but incessant parasitism,...
Among the pathophysiological derangements operating in chronic phase of Chagas disease, parasite persistence is likely to constitute main mechanism myocardial injury patients with chagasic cardiomyopathy. The presence Trypanosoma cruzi heart causes a low-grade, but relentless, inflammatory process and induces autoimmune injury. These facts suggest that trypanocidal therapy may positively impact clinical course disease. However, experimental evidence currently available insufficient support...
A century after its discovery, Chagas' disease still represents a major public health challenge in Latin America. Moreover, because of growing population movements, an increasing number cases imported have now been detected non-endemic areas, such as North America and some European countries. This parasitic zoonosis, caused by <i>Trypanosoma cruzi</i>, is transmitted to humans infected Triatominae insects, or occasionally non-vectorial mechanisms, blood transfusion, mother fetus, oral...
Background Myocardium damage during Chagas' disease results from the immunological imbalance between pro- and production of anti-inflammatory cytokines has been explained based on Th1–Th2 dichotomy regulatory T cell activity. Recently, we demonstrated that IL-17 produced experimental T. cruzi infection regulates Th1 cells differentiation parasite induced myocarditis. Here, investigated role human disease. Methodology/Principal Findings First, observed CD4+IL-17+ in culture peripheral blood...
