Anatomia patológica de corações de chagásicos assintomáticos falecidos de modo violento

Abstract: Com finalidade de melhor conhecimento da forma indeterminada da doença de Chagas os autores realizaram estudo anatomopatólogico sistematizado de trinta corações de chagásicos assintomáticos falecidos de modo violento. Demonstram que nos portadores da forma em questão da tripanossomiase cruzi o coração e acometido por lesões da mesma natureza, porém de intensidade muito menor do que as observadas em chagásicos crônicos que falecem subitamente ou após periodo variável de insuficiência cardíaca. Baseados em seus … Show more

“…Microscopically, infected individuals at the indeterminate form of Chagas disease reveal mild focal myocarditis when their hearts are examined following biopsies (Mady et al 1984, Palacios-Pru et al 1989 or autopsies, that latter material being available after suicidal or accidental deaths (Lopes et al 1975(Lopes et al , 1981. However, longitudinal clinical studies have demonstrated that subjects presenting the indeterminate form tend to remain asymptomatic for prolonged time, and thus prognosis can be considered good.…”

“…They suggested that this prolonged infection would correspond to the "latent phase" or indeterminate phase of human infection. Lopes et al (1980a) evaluated six dogs naturally infected in an endemic area without symptoms of disease. Five dogs showed histopathologic findings similar to human patients with the indeterminate form.…”

“…In chronic Chagas heart disease described in non-elderly individuals, the macroscopic changes vary from an apparently normal heart with dilation of the right auricle to an increase in weight, global dilation associated with hypertrophy, subendocardial fibrosis at the tip of the ventricle and papillary muscles, endocardial thickening, left ventricular apical lesion with or without intracardiac thrombosis, intracardiac thrombosis, extreme cardiomegaly with the heart weighing over 1000g, and changes in the aorta, such as supravalvular dilation and aneurysm formation [5][6][7] .…”
