CHAGAS DISEASE

摘要

Chagas disease is arguably the archetypal neglected disease. Millions of people -the vast majority in Latin America - are infected, yet it is seldom discussed. It has struggled to achieve even a fraction of the notoriety of other neglected diseases, such as malaria. Its prevalence in immigrants to Spain, Portugal, the United States and other parts of the world has gone largely unnoticed. Even those who live in endemic areas are rarely aware of it.
