The authors present eight cases of arterio-mesenteric duodenal ileus diagnosed in the Serviço de Cirurgia de Ribeirão Preto (São Paula--Brasil) among 2.573 surgical interventions of digestive tract performed in 15 years. Seven (87.5%) cases presented positive complement fixation test for Chagas' disease and signs of Chagas' cardiopathy and/or enteropathy. Comparing similar casuist studies published in Brazil, the authors suggest that American Trypanosomiasis must be considered as a contributive factor in the genesis of arterio-mesenteric duodenal ileus in Latin America.
作者介绍了在里贝朗普雷图外科服务部（巴西圣保罗）15年中进行的2573例消化道手术中诊断出的8例肠系膜动脉十二指肠回肠梗阻病例。其中7例（87.5%）查加斯病补体结合试验呈阳性，并有查加斯心脏病和/或肠病的体征。通过与巴西发表的类似病例研究进行比较，作者认为美洲锥虫病必须被视为拉丁美洲肠系膜动脉十二指肠回肠梗阻发病的一个促成因素。
