Abstract
Chagas disease (CD), caused by Trypanosoma cruzi , is underdiagnosed in the United States. Improved screening strategies are needed, particularly for people at risk for life-threatening sequelae of CD, including people with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV, PWH). Here we report results of a CD screening strategy applied at a large HIV clinic serving an at-risk population. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
