• Dependiendo de la combinación particular de la cepa T. cruzi y la genética del
huésped, y su variante inmunologica se puede producir una replicación

Microscopic pathology of Chagas heart disease. Essentially, every possible histologic picture of Trypanosoma cruzi infection can be observed by examining the hearts of
patients with acute, chronic, or chronic reactivation (e.g., upon immunosuppression) disease.(a) Normal cardiac histology. (b) Heart section with mononuclear cell infiltration,
myofibrillar degeneration, fibrosis, and an amastigote pseudocyst, commonly seen in reactivation disease. (c) Massive interstitial fibrosis replacing depleted myocytes. (d ) A
mixed cell infiltrate comprising histiocytes, lymphocytes, eosinophils, and mast cells. (e) In addition to the chronic inflammation described in theearlier panels, myocardial
fibers show evidence of degeneration, with expanded basophilic cytoplasm, corrugated cell membranes, and nuclei with degenerative features, including open and clumped
chromatin and irregular nuclear borders. ( f ) Nonnecrotizing granulomas are occasionally observed. ( g) Multinucleated giant cells are commonly found. We emphasize that T.
cruzi amastigotes are rarely observed, except in the case of reactivation (b).
