“…To control Chagas disease, it is necessary to prevent parasite transmission by its two main mechanisms (vectorial and transfusional) and to complement this prevention with a secondary level of prevention in terms of medical and social attention for infected people. The key elements to such a programme, which has been proven successful, have been previously described by several authors (Schofield & Dias 1999, Dias et al 2002, WHO 2002, Moncayo 2003, Guhl et al 2005b, Yamagata & Nakagawa 2006.…”

“…Por ser éste un centro de referencia donde se evalúan pacientes de otras regiones, se encontró también seropositividad en individuos provenientes de otros departamentos, como Santander, Tolima y Norte de Santander, que son consideradas zonas de alta endemicidad para infección por T. cruzi, según se demostró en el estudio de seroprevalencia del país (19). A pesar de lo reducido del número de pacientes procedentes de la orinoquia, es notorio el hecho de que todos ellos tenían anticuerpos anti-T. cruzi asociados con su implante de marcapaso.…”

“…En Colombia constituye un problema de salud pública importante; se estima que la prevalencia de la infección en la población es del 5% y que existen alrededor de 3,5 millones de personas en riesgo de adquirir la enfermedad, dependiendo de la distribución geográfica de los insectos vectores (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) capaces de transmitir el parásito Trypanosoma cruzi (2).…”
