Abstract

SCUBLINSKY, D. et al. Clinical features and diagnosis of Chagas disease and immunosuppressants. Rev. argent. reumatolg. [online]. 2019, vol.30, n.1, pp.11-14. ISSN 0327-4411.

Chagas disease constitutes a severe infection of high prevalence in Argentina and other Latin American countries. The administration of immunosuppressive rheumatic drugs in these patients is often necessary but the implication that this may have on the reactivation of Chagas disease is not yet known. In this update, general diagnostic criteria in this group of patients, and available evidence and recommendations made in this context are reviewed.

Keywords : Chagas disease; immunosuppressive drugs.
