Chagasic meningoencephalitis with detection of Trypanosoma cruzi in the cerebrospinal fluid of an immunodepressed patient.
We report a case of chagasic meningoencephalitis with the detection of Trypanosoma cruzi in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). The patient was a renal transplant recipient with a chagasic history preceding surgery who had been receiving immunosuppressive medication for 8 years, a probable cause of the recrudescence of Chagas' disease. He was treated with benznidazole, with normalization of the CSF. He was discharged from hospital in a good clinical condition.
