A serologic study of Chagas disease was performed in 110 patients submitted to chronic hemodialisis and blood transfusions. Immunofluorescence antibody testing (IgG and IgM) was positive in 6 out of 62 patients receiving multiple blood transfusions (9.7%), but negative in all 48 subjects without transfusions. Thus, repeated blood transfusion is a significant risk for T cruzi infection in chronic hemodialized patients.
对110例接受慢性血液透析和输血的患者进行了恰加斯病的血清学研究。在62例接受多次输血的患者中，有6例免疫荧光抗体检测（IgG和IgM）呈阳性（9.7%），但在所有48例未输血的受试者中均为阴性。因此，反复输血是慢性血液透析患者感染克氏锥虫的重大风险。
