“…In this study, we demonstrate that the positivity rate for CD among blood donors in Alagoas was 0.35%. This value is similar to the data reported from the State of Ceará (0.33% in 2015) 9 ; while being less than the positivity rate reported in the State of Piauí from 2004 to 2013 (1%) 7 ; and greater than in the Pernambuco State from 2002 to 2007 (0.17%) 8 . The WHO estimate of the seropositivity rate in blood donors from Brazil in 2010 was 0.18% 14 , while our results show the seropositive rate in Alagoas is two-fold more than that.…”

“…Unfortunately, scientific articles relating to CD positivity rates of blood donated in Brazil are scarce in the articles database. In the Northeast Region, we can find these data only from the states of Ceará, Pernambuco, and Piauí, all of which demonstrate the occurrence of CD seropositive individuals among blood donors 7 - 9 . However, no information is available regarding CD seropositivity rates among blood donors in Alagoas.…”

“…Portanto, traçar o perfil epidemiológico nacional dos pacientes infectados por T. cruzi na fase aguda pode fornecer informações relevantes, a fim de alertar órgãos de vigilância, para que o direcionamento e a intensificação das medidas de prevenção sejam cada vez mais eficazes, de maneira a favorecer o acompanhamento, tratamento e suporte aos indivíduos contaminados ou que residam em áreas de maior incidência e prevalência (COSTA et al, 2021).…”
