Title: | Transmisión congénita del Trypanosoma cruzi en Argentina | Other Titles: | Congenital transmission of Trypanosoma cruzi infection in Argentina | Authors: | Sosa-Estani, Sergio | Keywords: | Trypanosoma cruzi;Argentina | Issue Date: | 2005 | Journal: | Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical | Abstract: | Congenital transmission of Trypanosoma cruzi infection in Argentina has being increasing its relative importance with control of vectorial and transfusional transmission growth. It is for this reason that vertical transmission is seen, in the future, as a continuous source of infected newborns, even with vectorial and transfusional transmission completely controlled. Preventing vertical transmission of T.cruzi is not possible, but it can be precociously detected, permitting mother and child to be incorporated into the medical attention system, and so allowing the newbornś treatment with practically 100% efficacy. It is estimated that between 800 and 1700 children infected with T. cruzi by congenital transmission are born in Argentina, per year. The implementation of an early strategy of detection for an effective and opportune treatment acquires great relevance as a Public Health measure. |
