RESUMO

This study aims to evaluate the contribution of lymphoproliferation (1 parameter) in association with high performance serological tests (4), epidemiological data (1) and parasitological tests (1) for Chagas disease in patients with inconclusive conventional serological tests. We showed that this diagnosis is probable in individuals presenting >three positive of these 7 parameters (15 of 73 individuals). The combination of TESA-blot, lymphoproliferation was useful when epidemiological data were positive
