[Triatominae capable of transmitting Trypanosoma cruzi in Cuba]. / Triatomíneos capaces de trasmitir el Trypanosoma cruzi en Cuba.

A brief review of the species of the genus Triatoma that have been described in some epidemiology books is made. Triatoma rubrofasciata has been found at the Oriente province in our country. Triatoma flavida has been found at the Pinar del Río, Las Villas, Camagüey, and Oriente provinces. Both insects transmit the Chagas' disease.

[Megavisceral syndrome. Report of 2 cases]. / Síndrome megavisceral. Presentación de dos casos.

Two patients with splanchnomegaly are presented, and it is proved through experimental, clinical, anatomicopathological, and epidemiological investigations that Trypanosoma cruzi--the etiological agent of Chagas' disease--causes splanchnomegaly in those countries where this disease is endemic. It is neither assured nor denied that Trypanosome cruzi has been the causal agent of splanchnomegaly in the studied patients. It is suggested that in further investigations this problem may be cleared up.
