We report the case of a 52-year-old male heterosexual patient with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and reactivation of Chagas' disease manifested by meningoencephalitis and myocarditis, diagnosed post-mortem. Unexplained reactivation of Chagas' disease should be included among the diagnostic criteria of AIDS in human immunodeficiency virus positive patients. On the other hand, AIDS should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients with unexplained reactivation of Chagas' disease.
我们报告了一例52岁的男性异性恋患者,其患有获得性免疫缺陷综合征(AIDS),查加斯病复发,表现为脑膜脑炎和心肌炎,尸检后确诊。在人类免疫缺陷病毒阳性患者中,原因不明的查加斯病复发应纳入AIDS的诊断标准。另一方面,在原因不明的查加斯病复发患者的鉴别诊断中应考虑AIDS。
