Efficacy of short-course treatment for prevention of congenital transmission of Chagas disease: A retrospective cohort study.

Efficacy of short-course treatment for prevention of congenital transmission of Chagas disease: A retrospective cohort study.

<h4>Background</h4>In regions with controlled vector transmission of T. cruzi, congenital transmission is the most frequent route of infection. Treatment with benznidazole (BZ) or nifurtimox (NF) for 60 days in girls and women of childbearing age showed to be effective in preventing moth...
