“…Another novel point was that IOP was associated with chronic disease history after taking into account the interdependency of the parameters. There were several reports on relationship between IOP and chronic diseases, however, these reports mostly focused on a single disease (30)(31)(32)(33), and there were no relevant reports on population-based data. Our study was a population based cross sectional survey, and it can objectively reflect the correlation between IOP and chronic diseases, provide practical data support for basic research, and attract the attention of policy-making.…”

Chagas disease is an inflammatory, infectious disease caused by the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi found in the feces of the triatomine bug, which can cause a sudden, brief acute illness, or it may become a long-lasting chronic condition. Chagas disease is common in South America and Central America, however, the constantly expanding global community has brought Chagas disease to the forefront of non-endemic areas, particularly the United States and Europe. The authors present a case of a 47-year-old healthy farmer diagnosed with a right orbital cellulitis refractory to systemic antibiotics. Based on clinical symptoms, the patient’s medical/demographical history and a proper differential diagnosis, an acute phase of Chagas disease was diagnosed. After antiparasitic treatment, the patient had a proper recovery and continued with a regular follow-up to monitor the possible development of a chronic phase.

Pupillometry in Chagas disease

Abstract: Patients with chagasic infection may exhibit ocular parasympathetic dysfunction, demonstrable by pupillometry and the dilute pilocarpine hypersensitivity test.
