Chagas disease, considered a parasitic neglected disease, is endemic in Latin America. Although, its mortality rate has decreased over time, it still represents a public health problem in the region. A bibliometric evaluation of the Latin American contributions on this disease was done. This study used SCI (1980-2013), MEDLINE/GOPUBMED (1802-2013), Scopus (1959-2013), SCIELO (2004-2013), and LILACS (1980-2013). Different study types have been characterized by years, origin city/country, journals and most productive authors, by country, cites and H-index. 2988 articles were retrieved from SCI (30.85% of total). Brazil was found to be the highest producer (31.22%), followed by Argentina (18.14%) and México (9.57%); the region received 47241 citations, 28.60% for Brazil (H-index=52), 18.26% of Argentina (Hindex= 43), 11.40% Bolivia (H-index=37). 4484 were retrieved from Scopus (30.20% of the total), 38.58% of which were from Brazil, 12.40% from Argentina and 8.90% from Mexico. From Medline, 6647 records were retrieved (45.58% Brazil). From SciELO, 917 articles (47.66% Brazil). From LILACS, 2165 articles (60.05% Brazil). Brazil has the highest output in the region. Despite advances in controlling Chagas disease, scientific production is low, particularly for regional bibliographic databases, which calls for more research on this disease.
恰加斯病被视为一种被忽视的寄生虫病，在拉丁美洲流行。尽管其死亡率随时间有所下降，但在该地区它仍然是一个公共卫生问题。对拉丁美洲关于这种疾病的贡献进行了文献计量学评估。本研究使用了科学引文索引（SCI，1980 - 2013年）、医学文献数据库/全球医学文献数据库（MEDLINE/GOPUBMED，1802 - 2013年）、Scopus数据库（1959 - 2013年）、科学电子图书馆在线（SCIELO，2004 - 2013年）以及拉丁美洲和加勒比地区健康科学文献数据库（LILACS，1980 - 2013年）。不同的研究类型按年份、来源城市/国家、期刊以及最具生产力的作者、国家、被引频次和H指数进行了特征描述。从SCI数据库中检索到2988篇文章（占总数的30.85%）。发现巴西是产量最高的国家（31.22%），其次是阿根廷（18.14%）和墨西哥（9.57%）；该地区共获得47241次引用，其中巴西占28.60%（H指数 = 52），阿根廷占18.26%（H指数 = 43），玻利维亚占11.40%（H指数 = 37）。从Scopus数据库中检索到4484篇文章（占总数的30.20%），其中38.58%来自巴西，12.40%来自阿根廷，8.90%来自墨西哥。从医学文献数据库中检索到6647条记录（巴西占45.58%）。从科学电子图书馆在线中检索到917篇文章（巴西占47.66%）。从拉丁美洲和加勒比地区健康科学文献数据库中检索到2165篇文章（巴西占60.05%）。巴西在该地区的产出最高。尽管在控制恰加斯病方面取得了进展，但科研产出较低，特别是对于区域文献数据库而言，这就需要对这种疾病开展更多研究。
