Resumen
TORRES-MARTINEZ, Dayana Sofía; QUIMBAYA-RAMIREZ, John Jaime y MONROY-DIAZ, Ángela Liliana. Diagnosis of congenital Chagas disease: Relevant aspects. Revista médica Risaralda [online]. 2023, vol.29, n.1, pp.127-146. Epub 28-Ago-2023. ISSN 0122-0667. https://doi.org/10.22517/25395203.25093.
Introduction:
This article describes relevant aspects of congenital Chagas disease, such as epidemiology, symptoms, review of clinical cases, and diagnostic techniques.
Methods:
A review of the literature was carried out through bibliographic databases such as PubMed, Science direct, Scopus, Plos One, SciELO, having as inclusion criteria articles or publications between January 2013 and January 2022 in Spanish and English.
Results:
It was determined that the prevalence of congenital Chagas disease is still a public health problem in endemic and non-endemic areas, and maternal serology is essential for timely monitoring of cases.
Conclusions:
Current diagnostic follow-ups differ in endemic countries and screening is being applied in non-endemic areas where women from areas of active transmission of Chagasic disease migrate.
