Description:

CDC estimates 300,000 or more Trypanosoma cruzi-infected individuals of Hispanic origin currently live in the United States.

Despite being counseled to seek medical care, only approximately 11% of Chagas seropositive blood donors have contacted CDC for consultation regarding treatment.

Chagas disease may be life threatening even when the patient feels well. Evaluation and treatment can be life saving.
