Clinical Trial Summary

Chagas disease is caused by parasite Trypanosoma Cruzi. In Argentina, there is an estimated of 1.600.000 infected people. Due to migration phenomenon, most cases live in urban areas without vectorial transmission. Pharmacological treatment is given to prevent development of cardiac and gastrointestinal sequelae. There are two available drugs for this disease; Nifurtimox and Benznidazole. They both has proven efficacy for acute face treatment, with different security profiles. There are not enough adequate studies comparing both drugs made in a large number of subjects. Investigators will study 900 patients treated with both drugs and compare security and efficacy in a retrospective cohort.
