Reactivation of chronic Chagas' disease following allogeneic bone marrow transplantation and successful pre-emptive therapy with benznidazole

J Altclas et al. Transpl Infect Dis. 1999 Jun.

Abstract

This report shows the early detection of reactivation of chronic Chagas' disease (CCd) in a 27-year-old man with chronic myelogenous leukemia undergoing allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (ABMT). Pre-emptive therapy with benznidazole during a period of 7 weeks led to a rapid recovery of the patient, who remains free of parasitemia 2 years after the bone marrow transplantation.
