| description | Objective: Our study aimed to identify seropositive cases of Trypanosoma cruzi in pregnant women from the northeastern region of the State of Mexico and underscore the importance of screening for this disease in prenatal care. Methods: We analyzed 879 serum samples from pregnant women in this non-endemic area for antibodies to Trypanosoma cruzi. Results: We found a seroprevalence of 0.34 % to Trypanosoma cruzi in pregnant women aged 20 to 29. Conclusions: The confirmation of anti-Trypanosoma cruzi antibodies in 3 pregnant women in this non-endemic area further highlights the need to incorporate the diagnosis of this disease as part of prenatal care. |
