[Peripheral facial paralysis, polyneuritis and chronic Chagas' disease].
The author reports the case of a 42-year-old woman who developed right peripheral facial paralysis and mixed polyneuritis in the course of an undiagnosed Chagas' disease. The clinical diagnosis could be confirmed by serological reactions for Chagas' disease. A likely relationship between chronic Chagas' disease, peripheral facial paralysis and mixed polyneuritis is discussed.
