INTRODUCTION
This study estimated the seroprevalence and risk factors of Chagas disease (CD) in a population of the Quixeré municipality, Ceará.
METHODS
We conducted serological methods to detect the Trypanosoma cruzi infection. The other variables were evaluated by a standardized questionnaire.
RESULTS
The estimated prevalence of CD was 3.7%. Male sex, age >40 years, being farmers, low education level, origin from rural areas, and being born in Quixeré were significantly associated with infection.
CONCLUSION
CD persists in this rural population of Northeast Brazil. Poverty, low education, and limited information regarding CD are critical issues that need to be addressed.

CD 的估计患病率为 3.7%。男性、年龄>40 岁、农民、低教育水平、来自农村地区和在奎泽雷出生与感染显著相关。
