Abstract
Among 239 kidney transplantations between September 1992 and September 1997, nine recipients' kidneys were obtained from Chagas seropositive donors. All of these patients were treated with benznidazole (5 mg/kg/d) for 14 days starting on day 0. None of them experienced acute Chagas disease or seroconversion even after 10 years follow-up. We concluded that, due to cadaver shortage, donors with positive serology for Chagas disease should not be excluded.Entities:
