Most of the cases are a- or oligosymptomatic, but depending on the # inoculation site, the first sign can be a skin chancre (chagoma) or unilateral purplish orbital oedema (Romaņa sign) with local lymphoadenopathies # and fever over several weeks. That can be accompanied, among others, by headache, pallor, myalgia, dyspnoea, oedema in inferior limbs or face, # abdominal pain, cough, hepatomegaly, rash, painful nodules, splenomegaly, generalized oedema, diarrhoea, multiple lymphoadenopathies, myocarditis # (chest pain, heart failure) and more rarely meningoencephalitis (seizures, paralysis). Morbidity can be higher in children under five, elderly, # immunocompromised or in cases with possible high parasite inoculum, such as seen in oral outbreaks. In AIDS the meningoencephalitis is the more # frequent manifestation (differential diagnosis with toxoplasmosis). # # The chronic phase, with parasites hidden in target tissues - especially heart and digestive smooth muscle, has different possible clinical forms: # a) asymptomatic (indeterminate form), more frequent, typically in the beginning of the chronic phase and lasting all life in most of the patients; # b) cardiac form, till 30% of the patients, with conduction disorders, arrhythmia, cardiomyopathy, heart failure and secondary thromboembolism; # c) digestive lesions (megaoesophagus and megacolon) or mixed forms (cardiac plus digestive ####################################################################################
