| Sumario: | Chagas disease, discovered 103 years ago, is still one of the main endemics affecting the American continent. Between 15 and 16 million people are infected with Trypanosoma cruzi and more than 25 million people are at risk of contracting the disease. In 2008, Chagas disease killed an estimated 10,000 people. It is considered to be the parasitic disease with the highest economic burden in Latin America due to its prolonged chronicity; in addition, it has begun to be a challenge for doctors in the United States and European countries due to the immigration of people coming from countries in the endemic zone. |
