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. CS207081-A
