Rheumatic heart disease is common in the undeveloped world; Chagas disease, a typical rural parasitic condition started to affect urban areas. Both have a relatively high incidence and prevalence in Latin America, however, we could not find a report of patients with coincidental rheumatic heart disease and Chagas disease. Herein we report the first documented case.
风湿性心脏病在不发达地区很常见；恰加斯病，一种典型的农村寄生虫病，开始影响城市地区。在拉丁美洲，这两种疾病的发病率和患病率都相对较高，然而，我们未能找到风湿性心脏病与恰加斯病并存患者的报告。在此，我们报告首例有记录的病例。
