Screening for CD is recommended for solid organ transplant (SOT) candidates with epidemiologic risk factors; however, data on prevalence and post\u2010transplant reactivation in the United States remain limited.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      We conducted a retrospective cohort study of SOT candidates and recipients screened for\n                      <jats:italic>T. cruzi<\/jats:italic>\n                      at a large transplant center in Miami, Florida.

All seropositive recipients were born in historically endemic areas. Median post\u2010transplant surveillance was 13.5 (range 1\u201325) months. Seven patients developed Chagas disease reactivation (CDR) diagnosed by serum PCR; all were asymptomatic. Median time from transplantation to reactivation was 48\u00a0days (range 22\u2013426). Treatment with benznidazole for 60\u00a0days cleared the parasitemia in all patients. At 2\u00a0years, 80% (8\/10) had graft survival, one patient died unrelated to CDR.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We report a high incidence of CDR among SOT recipients at a US transplant center serving a predominantly immigrant population, with favorable 2\u2010year outcomes. Most reactivation events occurred early post\u2010transplant, although a later recurrence was also observed. Intensive monitoring for CDR proved effective in detecting reactivation prior to the onset of symptoms.<\/jats:p>\n
