BACKGROUND: Chagas disease is caused by infection with Trypanosoma cruzi. In adults, treatment benznidazole associated a high incidence of adverse drug reactions (ADRs). However, in infants and children, seems lower decreased severity ADRs, but these effects have not been clearly characterized. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to describe ADRs observed children treated benznidazole. PATIENTS AND METHODS: conducted prospective cohort study Argentina RESULTS: A total 107 diagnosed asymptomatic (mean age:...

Introduction Chagas disease, caused by the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, can lead to long term cardiac morbidity. Treatment of children with benznidazole is effective, but no pediatric pharmacokinetics data are available and clinical pharmacology information on drug scarce. Patients Methods Prospective population pharmacokinetic (PK) cohort study in 2–12 years old disease treated oral 5–8 mg/kg/day BID for 60 days. (clinicaltrials.gov #NCT00699387). Results Forty were enrolled study. Mean age...

It is currently unknown whether treatment of Chagas disease decreases the risk congenital transmission from previously treated mothers to their infants. In a cohort women with benznidazole, no was observed in newborns. This finding provides support for as early possible.

ABSTRACT On January 12, 2024 the safety committee of European Medicines Agency (EMA) recommended precautionary measures over a potential risk neurodevelopmental disorders in children born to men treated with valproate. These new recommend patient supervision by specialist management epilepsy, bipolar disorder, or migraine. In United Kingdom, and Healthcare products Regulatory (MHRA) issued far more stringent precaution, warning against prescribing valproate anyone under 55 years age. We,...

Pharmacological treatment of Chagas disease with benznidazole (BNZ) is effective in children all stages, but it controversial chronically infected adults. We report the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics six adult patients treated new BNZ formulation (ABARAX®) doses between 2.5-5.5 mg/Kg/day. All one patient had plasmatic concentrations within expected range. finalised nondetectable Trypanosoma cruziquantitative polymerase chain reaction, which remained at month follow-up. Our data...
