Acute chagas disease without heart involvement - what does this mean

Acute chagas disease without heart involvement occurs when the parasite trypanosoma cruzi is transmitted to humans through contact with an infected insect, such as a kissing bug. the parasite then travels through the bloodstream and enters the cells, where it multiplies and causes inflammation of the tissues. symptoms of acute chagas disease without heart involvement may include fever, fatigue, body aches, rash, and swollen lymph nodes.

What happens during the disease - acute chagas disease without heart involvement

Acute chagas disease is caused by the protozoan parasite trypanosoma cruzi, which is transmitted through the bites of infected triatomine bugs, or “kissing bugs.” once in the body, the parasite can invade and damage various organs, including the heart. without heart involvement, the initial symptoms of acute chagas disease may include fever, fatigue, body aches, loss of appetite, and swollen lymph nodes. as the infection progresses, the parasite will spread to other organs, causing inflammation and tissue damage. if left untreated, the infection can become chronic and lead to potentially life-threatening complications.
