RESUMEN

Objetivo:

Analizar la situación actual de la Enfermedad de Chagas (EC) en relación con la gestación en el Hospital Universitario La Paz (HULP).

Método:

Estudio retrospectivo de gestantes diagnosticadas de EC en el HULP y seguimiento de sus hijos.

Resultados:

En el HULP hay descritos cinco casos de recién nacidos de madres con EC en seguimiento sin que se haya demostrado transmisión vertical.

Discusión:

El diagnóstico de la enfermedad en el neonato es complicado debido a la dificultad de detectar parásitos en sangre y a la presencia de anticuerpos maternos. El tratamiento únicamente tiene buenos resultados cuando se administra en los primeros meses de vida.

Conclusiones:

Debido al aumento de población inmigrante procedente de áreas endémicas, el tamizaje de EC en gestantes procedentes de dichas áreas y el seguimiento de los neonatos es fundamental para facilitar la detección de la infección congénita y su tratamiento.
ABSTRACT

Objective:

Analyze the current situation of Chagas' disease in relation with gestation in The University Hospital La Paz (HULP).

Methods:

Retrospective study of pregnant women diagnosed of Chagas' disease in HULP and the clinical tracking of their children.

Results:

In the HULP, five cases of new borns with mothers affected of Chagas' disease have been reported without a vertical transmission being detected.

Discussion:

The diagnosis of Chagas' disease in the new born is complicated because of the difficulty for detecting parasites in blood and the presence of maternal antibodies. Treatment is only effective if it is administered during the first months of life.

Conclusions:

Due to the increment of immigrant population from endemic areas, the screening of Chagas' disease is really important to detect this congenital infection and its treatment.
