Chagas and COVID-19 are diseases caused by Trypanosoma cruzi and SARS-CoV-2, respectively. These diseases present very different etiological agents despite showing similarities such as susceptibility/risk factors, pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs), recognition of glycosaminoglycans, inflammation, vascular leakage hypercoagulability, microthrombosis, and endotheliopathy; all of which suggest, in part, treatments with similar principles. Here, both diseases are compared, focusing mainly on the characteristics related to dysregulated immunothrombosis. Given the in-depth investigation of molecules and mechanisms related to microthrombosis in COVID-19, it is necessary to reconsider a prompt treatment of Chagas disease with oral anticoagulants.
恰加斯病和 COVID-19 分别由克氏锥虫和 SARS-CoV-2 引起。这两种疾病的病因截然不同,但也存在一些相似之处,如易感/危险因素、病原体相关分子模式(PAMPs)、糖胺聚糖识别、炎症、血管渗漏、高凝、微血栓形成和血管内皮病变;所有这些都在一定程度上提示治疗原则相似。在这里,将对这两种疾病进行比较,主要侧重于与免疫血栓失调相关的特征。鉴于 COVID-19 中对与微血栓形成相关的分子和机制的深入研究,有必要重新考虑对恰加斯病进行快速抗凝治疗。
