| Chagas' d. |
an acute, subacute, or chronic form of trypanosomiasis seen widely in Central and South America, caused by Trypanosoma cruzi, and transmitted by the bites of reduviid bugs of the genera Triatoma, Panstrongylus, and Rhodnius; the reservoir hosts are domestic and wild animals such as cats, dogs, rodents, armadillos, bats, and foxes. The acute form, prevalent in children, is marked initially by an erythematous nodule (chagoma) at the site of inoculation; high fever; unilateral swelling of the face with edema of the eyelid (Romaña's sign); regional lymphadenopathy; hepatosplenomegaly; and meningoencephalic irritation. If death does not occur, the disease may resolve completely, or the subacute or chronic form may follow. The subacute form may last for several months or years and is characterized by mild fever, severe asthenia, and generalized lymphadenopathy. The chronic form, which may or may not be preceded by an acute episode, is characterized principally by cardiac manifestations (myocarditis) and gastrointestinal manifestations (including megaesophagus and megacolon). Called also American or South American trypanosomiasis.
