The presence of antiautonomic membrane receptor antibodies do not correlate with brain lesions in Chagas' disease A presença de anticorpos anti-autonômicos não se correlaciona a lesões cerebrais na doença de Chagas

We previously demonstrated correlation between parasympathetic dysfunction and brain white matter lesions in chronic chagasic patients. OBJECTIVE: To correlate serum functional circulating antibodies with beta adrenergic (Ab-β), muscarinic (Ab-M) or muscarinic and beta adrenergic (Ab-M&...
