La Enfermedad de Chagas, es una de las principales endemias en Am\u00e9rica Latina, afectando entre 6-7 millones de personas y causando aproximadamente 12000 muertes anuales.\u00a0 Aunque el tratamiento antiparasitario es efectivo en etapas agudas y cr\u00f3nicas, solo un 10% de los pacientes accede al diagn\u00f3stico y solo un 1% recibe tratamiento oportunamente. En Argentina, se estima que 1,5 millones de personas est\u00e1n afectadas por la infecci\u00f3n, y se han logrado avances en la reducci\u00f3n de casos gracias a diferentes intervenciones de salud p\u00fablica. M\u00e9todos. En Robles, Santiago del Estero, se implement\u00f3 un algoritmo de diagn\u00f3stico utilizando pruebas r\u00e1pidas (PR) en terreno, extracci\u00f3n venosa a los positivos y aproximadamente 10% de los negativos, y procesamiento mediante Serolog\u00eda Convencional (SC) para mejorar el acceso al diagn\u00f3stico en poblaciones de riesgo. Resultados. Este algoritmo permiti\u00f3 acceder al diagn\u00f3stico serol\u00f3gico de EC a 1.380 personas entre noviembre de 2021 y junio de 2022 en el departamento de Robles, confirm\u00e1ndose como infectadas 48 personas por SC, con una p\u00e9rdida estimada de 4 o 5 seropositivos. Conclusiones. La estrategia demostr\u00f3 ser efectiva, con una baja tasa de p\u00e9rdidas de pacientes y un acceso mejorado al diagn\u00f3stico, especialmente para mujeres en edad f\u00e9rtil. La implementaci\u00f3n de PR puede facilitar el diagn\u00f3stico en \u00e1reas con recursos limitados y dif\u00edcil acceso, contribuyendo al control de esta endemia.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.31053\/1853.0605.v83.n2.50102","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,30]],"date-time":"2026-06-30T19:03:33Z","timestamp":1782846213000},"page":"e50102","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Estrategias de tamizaje para la Enfermedad de Chagas","Screening strategies for Chagas Disease","Estrat\u00e9gias de triagem para Doen\u00e7a de Chagas"],"prefix":"10.31053","volume":"83","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6118-1931","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andrea","family":"Marchiol","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6476-0872","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Diego","family":"Mendicino","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alicia","family":"Thelin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gabriela","family":"Cazzari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sandra del Valle","family":"Seu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"12333","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref0","unstructured":"1.
