Resumo
Trata-se de paciente do sexo feminino, com 59 anos de idade, procedente de Itaporanga (SP), diabética e nefropata crônica, internada em virtude de surtos de pielonefnte e insuficiência renal aguda. Dentre outras medidas terapêuticas, recebeu transfusão de sangue. Cerca de dois dias após a última transfusão (sangue oriundo de doador, posteriormente identificado como chagásico) encontraram-se formas tripomastigotas de Trypanosoma cruzi em lâmina preparada para execução de hemograma. Iniciou-se tratamento com Benzonidazol. A paciente cursou para, pleuropneumonia e de secreção purulenta cirúrgica isolou-se Klebsiella spp. A septicemia conduziu a paciente ao êxito letal. Nenhuma lesão tecidual foi observada no miocárdio, no sistema nervoso central, adrenal ou nos demais órgãos examinados.
D.E. O., a 59 years old white female bom in Paranagua (PR), came from Itaporanga with Kimmelstiel Wilson nephropathy diabetes and pyelonephritis with acute renal failure followed by a nephrectomy. Anaemia and malnutrition led to blood transfusions before and after surgery. on the 34th day, she developed high fever, prostration, agressivity with mental confusion, abdominal cramps and diarrhea. Trypanosomes were seen in peripheral blood smears. Haemoculture and xenodiagnosis was positive. A complement fixation test was negative. Benznidazole (6 mg/kg/day) was started. During treatment she presented pulmonary infection and a surgical purulent secretion showed Klebsiella sp. Despite intensive medical care she died of sepsis. Autopsy revealed evidence of diabetes mellitus (glomerulosclerosis, hepatic lesions, pancreatic fibrosis and generalised arteriolar disease). No chagasic lesions were detected in the heart, central nervous system, adrenal or other tissues.
