“…In addition, it is observed that among the public control policies, the largest portion is directed to the control of transmission by vector or even to the transfusion route, with a lesser emphasis on the control of contaminated food, resulting in transmission of Chagas disease. orally (ARAUJO et al, 2019). However, this transmission route is still neglected in Brazil, which is an impasse in the face of reducing the incidence of this disease (SANTOS et al, 2021).…”

Objectives This manuscript aimed to evaluate the seroprevalence of Chagas’s disease in the population of rural communities at Campinas do Piauí city, State of Piauí, Brazil. Methods The techniques of the indirect immunofluorescence reaction and enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay were used to detect reagent samples for Chagas disease and estimate its prevalence in the rural population. Blood samples were collected on filter paper through digital and venipuncture. Blood samples with reactive or indeterminate results were re‐evaluated and subjected to the test by ELISA. Results In total, 763 blood samples were analysed from 161 residences of 18 rural communities, collected in residents aged between 2 and 92 years. In the indirect immunofluorescence reaction technique, 44 (5.8%) of the results were positive, being 40 (5.2%) confirmed by the enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay. Among the communities surveyed, we observed reactive cases in 15 of them, these cases being distributed, according to the age group, as follows: 1 case from 0 to 10 years; 13 cases from 11 to 60 years old; and 30 cases over 61 years. Conclusion The results indicate that Chagas’s disease remains with active transmission in the Campinas do Piaui city according to the occurrence of a case in a resident under 10 years of age. The region is endemic for Chagas’s disease, as observed by the high prevalence of positive cases.

The rates reported by Chagas disease have intensified as a result of the determining factors for the disease. In this sense, with the arrival of Covid-19 in Brazil, several notifiable diseases were neglected, influencing Chagas disease, where cases were left aside, as if it were not of great importance during the peak period of the pandemic. Consequently, the lack of notification resulted in making individuals more vulnerable to acquiring the disease and developing aggravating clinical outcomes. Thus, the objective of this study is to compare the incidence of Chagas disease before and during the Covid-19 pandemic, as well as to discuss the factors that imply the clinical diagnosis. This research was carried out through a cross-sectional analysis, using epidemiological data from reported cases of Chagas disease in two periods: before and during Covid-19. The data collection was carried out by the Notifiable Diseases Information System - SINAN and the Unified Health System Database - DATASUS, where the collected data are concentrated between the period from September 2017 to August 2020 , among the states of the northeast region of Brazil. Therefore, by observational analysis, it was found every year that the northern region is always ahead of confirmed cases of the disease and during Covid-19 these numbers are still high, because in the pandemic period, actions were neglected to prevent, control and care for diseases including Chagas disease.
