title: Safety of liver transplantation with Chagas disease-seropositive donors for seronegative recipients.
abstract: The shortage of organs for transplantation has prompted the investigation of extended criteria donors, such as donors with transmissible infectious diseases. Here we report our recent experience with liver transplantation using organs from donors who were serologically positive for Chagas disease. We also provide a review of the literature and emphasize donor screening and preventive measures.
