Abstract
Chagas disease, caused by Trypanosoma cruzi, is considered the most serious parasitosis in America. It is mainly transmitted by triatomics (bugs). The infection causes cardiomyopathies and mega organs of the digestive tract. The diagnosis in the acute phase is by parasitological approach and in the chronic phase, by laboratory screening studies. In Mexico, children under 10 years of age are the most affected. The case of a 12-year-old girl with data suggestive of a bacterial infectious process is reported. with persistent fever, multi-treated with antimicrobials with suspicion of Chagas disease through the route of entry of the parasite with the Romana-Mazza sign.
