Evolution leaves behind exploitable weak points. Targeting #PEX38 feels like #precisionmedicine for #parasites - smart, selective, and exactly the kind of thinking #neglectedtropicaldiseases like #Chagas disease need. www.linkedin.com/posts/drmelv...
#chagas tx for acute or reactivated dz & chronic in children-age 18.
-Congenital infections are considered acute disease.
-Treat upto 50 yo with chronic infection who do not already have advanced cardiomyopathy.
Adults> 50 yo w/chronic: individualized tx
#chagas two drugs used to treat infection with T. cruzi are nifurtimox and benznidazole.
#chagas chronic diagnosis: Use two or more tests that detect antibodies to different antigens.
Common techniques include enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and immunofluorescent antibody test (IFA).
#chagas Diagnose acute infections by identifying trypomastigotes in blood using microscopy/thick & thin smears
#Chagas in US mostly impacts people from endemic areas of Latin America & are unaware of their infection. CDC estimated >300k people from Latin America have Chagas. +burden of cardiac disease & babies born to infected women from Latin America risk for congenital transmission
Hypothesized risk factors #chagas in US are behaviors that bring individuals into contact more often w/ vector bugs in sylvatic settings including outdoor activities such as hunting, gardening & camping
Blood donor screening has opened a window into understanding geographic distribution of chronically infected people in USA & may help to direct public health efforts to improve diagnosis & management for those at risk for manifestations of chronic #Chagas disease
#Triatomines & T cruzi are not new to USA. T. cruzi 1st seen T protracta bug in California in 1916. Another vector, T sanguisuga, is widely distributed in southern & eastern US as far north as Pennsylvania & 1st reported to cause allergic reactions in people in mid-1800s #chagas
Autochthonous transmission of #chagas disease: Trypanosoma cruzi in the United States t.co/4pZd1o3xJ8
