The infant was then treated with the antiparasitic drug benznidazole, and the infection was cured, as demonstrated serologically and parasitologically. After follow-up of several years without evidence of disease, with satisfactory weight and height development, the patient had her first child at age 23, in whom serological tests for Chagas disease yielded negative results. Thirty years after the initial examination, the patient's electrocardiogram, echocardiogram, and chest radiography remained normal.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1590\/s0037-86822012000200026","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,4,25]],"date-time":"2012-04-25T05:16:09Z","timestamp":1335330969000},"page":"266-268","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Advanced megaesophagus (Group III) secondary to vector-borne Chagas disease in a 20-month-old infant"],"prefix":"10.1590","volume":"45","author":[{"given":"Anis","family":"Rassi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Federal de Goi\u00e1s; Hospital Anis Rassi"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Joffre Marcondes de","family":"Rezende","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Federal de Goi\u00e1s"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anis","family":"Rassi Junior","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hospital Anis Rassi"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"530","reference":[{"key":"ref1","series-title":"Trypanosoma cruzi e Doen\u00e7a de Chagas","first-page":"297","volume-title":"Forma digestiva da doen\u00e7a de Chagas","author":"Rezende JM","year":"2000","edition":"2"},{"key":"ref2","first-page":"171","article-title":"Megaes\u00f4fago chag\u00e1sico na inf\u00e2ncia: Aspectos cl\u00ednicos","volume":"20","author":"Santos AM","year":"1974","journal-title":"Rev Goiana Med","ISSN":"https:\/\/id.crossref.org\/issn\/0034-9585","issn-type":"print"},{"key":"ref3","first-page":"46","article-title":"Megaes\u00f3fago en un lactante con Enfermedad de Chagas probablemente cong\u00e9nita","volume":"17","author":"Atias A","year":"1962","journal-title":"Bol Chil Parasitol","ISSN":"https:\/\/id.crossref.org\/issn\/0365-9402","issn-type":"print"},{"key":"ref4","first-page":"322","article-title":"Doen\u00e7a de Chagas cong\u00eanita: Estudo cl\u00ednicopatol\u00f3gico de um caso com sobrevida de seis meses","volume":"15","author":"Tafuri WL","year":"1973","journal-title":"Rev Inst Med Trop S\u00e3o Paulo","ISSN":"https:\/\/id.crossref.org\/issn\/0036-4665","issn-type":"print"},{"key":"ref5","first-page":"165","article-title":"Doen\u00e7a de Chagas cong\u00eanita na Bahia","volume":"11","author":"Bitencourt ACL","year":"1984","journal-title":"Rev Baiana Saude Publ"},{"key":"ref6","first-page":"77","author":"Koeberle F","year":"1972"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"303","DOI":"10.1590\/S0037-86821968000600005","article-title":"Caso de doen\u00e7a de Chagas observado desde o per\u00edodo inicial da infec\u00e7\u00e3o, com aparecimento precoce de megaes\u00f4fago e megac\u00f3lon","volume":"2","author":"Rassi A","year":"1968","journal-title":"Rev Soc Bras Med Trop","ISSN":"https:\/\/id.crossref.org\/issn\/0037-8682","issn-type":"print"},{"key":"ref8","series-title":"Doen\u00e7a de Chagas em Bambu\u00ed, Minas Gerais, Brasil: Estudo cl\u00ednico - epidemiol\u00f3gico a partir da fase aguda, entre1940 e 1982","author":"Dias JCP"},{"key":"ref9","first-page":"155","article-title":"Patogenia da mol\u00e9stia de Chagas: Estudo dos \u00f3rg\u00e3os musculares \u00f4cos","volume":"3","author":"Koeberle F","year":"1957","journal-title":"Rev Goiana Med","ISSN":"https:\/\/id.crossref.org\/issn\/0034-9585","issn-type":"print"},{"key":"ref10","first-page":"247","article-title":"Aspectos cl\u00ednicos e radiol\u00f3gicos da aperistalsis do es\u00f4fago","volume":"12","author":"Rezende JM","year":"1960","journal-title":"Rev Bras Gastroenterol","ISSN":"https:\/\/id.crossref.org\/issn\/0034-7221","issn-type":"print"},{"key":"ref11","series-title":"Trypanosoma cruzi e Doen\u00e7a de Chagas","first-page":"231","volume-title":"Fase aguda","author":"Rassi A","year":"2000","edition":"2"}],"container-title":["Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/www.scielo.br\/pdf\/rsbmt\/v45n2\/v45n2a26.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2017,5,27]],"date-time":"2017-05-27T01:29:48Z","timestamp":1495848588000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/www.scielo.br\/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S0037-86822012000200026&lng=en&tlng=en"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2012,4]]},"references-count":11,"journal-issue":{"issue":"2","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2012,4]]}},"alternative-id":["S0037-86822012000200026"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1590\/s0037-86822012000200026","relation":{},"ISSN":["0037-8682"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0037-8682","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2012,4]]}}}
