Epidemiology of concurrent Chagas disease and ischemic stroke in a population attending a multicenter quaternary rehabilitation network in Brazil
2019
Background and purpose
Chagas disease and ischemic stroke (IS) have a close but poorly understood correlation. In endemic settings, continued transmission over time has resulted in increasing prevalence of both asymptomatic infection and cardiomyopathy with increasing age. Latin America has made substantial progress towards Chagas disease control. Although several epidemiological studies have been conducted, information regarding epidemiology and distribution of IS in Chagas disease is still lacking.
