RESUMEN
Desde hace un par de décadas y más aun en los últimos cinco años, se ha desarrollado un gran número de estudios que demuestran la actividad tripanocida de diversas drogas, algunas nuevas, muchas viejas, lo cual aunado al conocimiento acerca de la persistencia parasitaria de Trypanosoma cruzi en tejido miocárdico, entre otros, durante las fases crónicas de la enfermedad, permiten hacer patente que existe un nuevo paradigma, nuevas aproximaciones al manejo terapéutico del paciente con enfermedad de Chagas. En el presente artículo se revisan las principales bases que sustentan dichas perspectivas terapéuticas en la tripanosomiasis americana.
