This large descriptive study provides a comprehensive overview of the clinical and pathologic features of Chagas' disease across its acute and chronic stages.
A study of the most important clinical and pathologic aspects of Chagas' disease has been presented, on the basis of the analysis of 180 cases of acute infection (11 with autopsy), 657 cases of chronic asymptomatic infection, and 683 cases of chronic Chagas' heart disease (21 autopsied cases with Schizotrypanum cruzi in myocardium).
Laranja et al. (1956) studied this question.
