Resumo
The sensitivity of the technique of hemoculture was studied in 152 women infected by
Trypanosoma cruzi in the chronic phase of Chagas disease, 101 pregnant and 51 non
pregnant (control group). Serologic tests were positive for two or three serologic tests of
different principles in all women. According to gestational age, 25 patients were under 21
weeks of gestation, 55 between 21 and 30 weeks of gestation and 21 were over 30. The
pregnant women had average age of 29.2 years (from 17 to 44 years) and the control group
the mean age was 34.1 years (from 18 to 49 years). Higher positivity was observed in the
group of pregnant, 60.4% (61/101) compared with the control group: 29.4% (15/51). Been
made seven tubes for each hemoculture held for a total of 1.064 tubes that were examined
monthly, until the 150th day, a total of 5.320 tests conducted microscopic. It examined the
profile of parasitemia by the number of tubes positive, in the pregnant group, the
parasitemia was low in 39,6% of the tubes, average at 22,8%, and high in 37,6%. In the
control group, the parasitemia was low at 70.6 %, average at 15.7 % and 13.7 % high.For
naturalness most (87) were from the state of Bahia, 50 women of Goiás and 15 of other
states. These results show that the technique of hemoculture identified significant
differences (p <0.001) in parasitemia in pregnant in relation to the control group. This
increase due to pregnancy could well encourage an increased risk of congenital
transmission. Also, it could be an indication of specific treatment after pregnancy.
