Chagas disease (CD), caused by Trypanosoma cruzi, is underdiagnosed in the United States. Improved screening strategies are needed, particularly for people at risk for life-threatening sequelae of CD, including people with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV, PWH). Here we report results of a CD screening strategy applied at a large HIV clinic serving an at-risk population.
查加斯病(CD)由克氏锥虫引起,在美国的诊断率较低。需要改进筛查策略,特别是针对有发生 CD 危及生命的后果风险的人群,包括感染人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV,艾滋病毒感染者)的人群。在此,我们报告了在一家服务高危人群的大型艾滋病毒诊所实施的 CD 筛查策略的结果。
