Article Synopsis
- Chagas disease (CD) is widespread in Bolivia, yet there is limited research on how it affects the digestive system in chronic patients.
- A study in Cochabamba included 85 seropositive individuals with chronic CD symptoms and 15 seronegative individuals with similar digestive issues to analyze the prevalence of digestive manifestations.
- Results showed a notable occurrence of digestive symptoms in both groups, with significant findings like high rates of constipation and gastritis, indicating that not all digestive issues in these patients are due to CD, emphasizing the need for thorough differential diagnoses.
