“…The higher rates of reactivation and myocarditis reported following heart transplantation may be related to the degree of immunosuppression used (38,119), and outcomes also vary according to different series (39,96). There are also conflicting results regarding the influence of pre-and posttransplantation treatment with benznidazole on outcomes in these patients (96,119).…”

“…Pacientes com índice de massa corporal (IMC) acima de 30 Kg/ m 2 têm piores resultados; pacientes acima de 70 anos devem ser considerados para doadores de lista alternativa; portadores de neoplasias com remissão de cinco anos e de baixo grau de malignidade podem ser aceitos após avaliação oncológica; diabéticos com lesão de órgãos-alvo têm contraindicação relativa para transplante; a presença de IR e DVP são contraindicações relativas devendo ser bem avaliadas. Diante dos bons resultados de grupos brasileiros com o transplante em cardiomiopatia chagásica, não há contraindicação para pacientes chagásicos 169,170,[174][175][176][177][178][179][180][181] . Deve ser ressaltada a experiência de cada centro com relação ao esquema de imunossupressão e monitoração da reativação da doença.…”

“…However, myocardial inflammatory infiltrates and lesions are not uniformly reduced in mice infected with different T. cruzi strains and treated with benznidazole (Bz) (Caldas et al, 2008;MarinNeto et al, 2009;Rassi and Rassi, 2009). In addition, there is clinical evidence of parasite persistence in host tissues due to Chagas disease reactivation in immune-compromised hosts (Duffy et al, 2009;Fiorelli et al, 2005). Thus, parasite persistence in host tissues participates directly in the pathogenic role for myocardial aggression.…”
