American trypanosomiasis, also named Chagas disease (CD), is an anthropozoonosis caused by the protozoan parasite . The disease affects millions of people worldwide, leading yearly to approximately 50,000 deaths. COVID-19, generated by SARS-CoV-2, can lead to lymphopenia and death. We hereby describe the first report of two patients with CD and COVID-19 coinfection, from hospitalization until patients' death.
