“…Milk appears to be an adequate medium for transmission of T. cruzi because of its moisture and nutrient content and, in the case of human milk, body temperature would also be favorable (the parasite can be destroyed in dry vector feces and by high temperatures) ( 23 , 24 , 36 ). Despite this, except for some dated cases, in humans, transmission through breast-feeding has not been reported.…”

“…Only mice that were given contaminated nonpasteurized milk (orally or intraperitoneally) were infected (detected by examination of peripheral blood) ( 23 ). In a similar study, mice that received either infected or noninfected microwave-treated milk (63°C, domestic microwave oven 2,450 MHz, 700 W), orally or intraperitoneally, were not infected (negative parasitologic and serologic results), whereas mice that received contaminated milk that had not been microwaved acquired the infection ( 24 ). …”

Suggested citation: Lamounier JA, Moulin ZS, Xavier CC. Recommendations for breastfeeding during maternal infections. J Pediatr (Rio J). 2004;80(5 Suppl):S181-S188. AbstractObjective: To make a literature review on breastfeeding and maternal infectious diseases in order to contribute with knowledge and information that can aid the pediatrician to decide upon allowing infected mothers to breastfeed their babies or not. Sources of data:Lilacs and MEDLINE databases were searched for books, technical rules and articles on the issue of breastfeeding and infected mothers.Summary of the findings: Infected lactating mothers can transmit pathogenic agents to their infants. Although breastfeeding protects the child it can also be a dangerous source of infection. Maternal diseases caused by bacteria, virus, fungi and parasites may sometimes be transmitted via human milk. The literature points out that mothers infected with HIV and T-lymphotropic human viruses (type I) should not breastfeed. With other diseases a careful approach should be made, but, in general, breastfeeding is maintained. Conclusion:The mother who is exposed to infectious diseases may transmit pathogenic agents through the human milk, attention should also be made to milk from milk banks. The healthcare provider must take his/her decision upon suspending breastfeeding -or not, what can be distressful, once he/she has a fundamental role in promoting and stimulating breastfeeding.J Pediatr (Rio J). 2004;80(5 Suppl):S181-S188: Human milk and infection, mothers infectious illnesses, maternal breast-feeding and infection.

“…Ratos inoculados por via oral e intraperitonial com leite humano contendo o parasita foram contaminados, porém o grupo controle com animais inoculados com leite pasteurizado não foi infectado 43,44 . Estudos realizados com animais de laboratório utilizando-se leite humano aquecido à temperatura de 63 o C em forno de microondas doméstico (7 minutos, 45% potência) mostrou ser eficaz na redução da transmissão do Trypanosoma cruzi 45 .…”

ResumoObjetivo: Revisão da literatura com o enfoque de amamentação e doenças infecciosas maternas, no intuito de contribuir com conhecimentos para decisões a serem tomadas pelo profissional de saúde. Fontes de dados:Informações foram obtidas em consultas que incluíram livros-texto, normas técnicas, artigos selecionados por meio de busca na base de dados Lilacs e MEDLINE, além de referências específicas.Síntese dos dados: Nutrizes com doenças infecciosas podem transmitir agentes patogênicos pelo leite materno para a criança. Embora a amamentação confira proteção à criança, ela pode também ser uma importante fonte de infecção. Doenças maternas causadas por vírus, fungos e agentes parasitários podem, em alguns casos, ser transmitidas via leite humano. Para mães com infecções pelo vírus da imunodeficiência humana e vírus T-linfotrópicos humanos tipo I, a recomendação é não amamentar. Nas demais doenças, é necessária uma avaliação cuidadosa, mas, em geral, na maioria dos casos, o aleitamento materno é mantido.Conclusões: Algumas doenças, principalmente as causadas por vírus, podem ser transmitidas durante a amamentação. O profissional de saúde, ao identificar uma nutriz com infecção viral ativa ou outra doença infecciosa, necessita tomar a decisão de suspender ou não a amamentação, o que pode ser um fato angustiante pelo seu papel fundamental na promoção e estímulo ao aleitamento materno.J Pediatr (Rio J). ...
