[Chagas disease. American trypanosomiasis. Recommendation for non-endemic zones].
The following recommendations were made at the end of the consensus workshop organized by the Société de Pathologie Exotique (Exotic Pathology Society) (Paris, 26 June 2009). They apply to people of Latin American origin (immigrants, children born in France to a Latin-American mother, French people originating in Guyana) and expatriates and travellers who have stayed in areas where Chagas disease is endemic. These recommendations concern screening for people who are infected but asymptomatic, diagnosis of acute forms, diagnosis of chronic forms with clinical manifestations and therapeutic procedure.
