The author reports the case of a 47-year-old man who developed an acute polyneuritis in the course of the chronic Chagas' disease. Neurological examination on admission forty-five days after onset showed total ptosis of the left eyelid without internal and external ophthalmoplegia. There was moderate diffuse weakness in the limbs. Tendon reflexes were depressed. Plantar responses were normal. The cerebrospinal fluid cell count and protein level were raised. The relationship between chronic Chagas' disease and peripheral polyneuritis is discussed.
作者报告了一例47岁男性病例，该患者在慢性恰加斯病病程中发生了急性多神经炎。发病45天后入院时的神经学检查显示左侧眼睑完全下垂，无内、外眼肌麻痹。四肢有中度弥漫性无力。腱反射减弱。跖反射正常。脑脊液细胞计数和蛋白水平升高。文中讨论了慢性恰加斯病与周围性多神经炎之间的关系。
