“…However, in 1993, a colleague of Prof. Mazza published a letter to the editor [88], in which he corrected the issue of transmission of T. cruzi with breast milk. Jörg [90] corrected that the milk collected by Mazza et al [88] was contaminated with blood, indicating that transmission of T. cruzi was via blood (bleeding nipples). Similar results related to the transmission of T. cruzi via nipple digestion were presented by Mediana-Lopez [91].…”

“…Because T. cruzi, originally named Schyzotrypanum cruzi, possesses the capacity to cross the epithelium and to infect via the oral route [29,327,329], the presence of this pathogen in the milk has been searched for. T. cruzi was found in the milk of experimentally infected mice [328,330,331], and several reports describe the presence of this pathogen in the milk from pregnant women [332][333][334][335], as reviewed by Norman and Lopez-Vélez [336]. In most cases, the presence of T. cruzi in the milk of pregnant women has been attributed to contamination by infected blood due to nipple bleeding [336].…”

“…Mazza et al ( 5 ) reported transmission through lactation; in the other study, the newborn was not breast-fed ( 28 ). However, another publication later indicated that in the study by Mazza et al, the collected milk was contaminated by blood ( 29 ). Medina-Lopes reported 2 cases of acute Chagas disease in infants that had been acquired through breast-feeding from mothers in the chronic phase.…”
