Resumo
In May 2010, the sixty-third World
Health Assembly adopted resolution
WHA63.20 on the control and elimination
of Chagas disease, highlighting the need
‘‘to promote the development of public
health measures in disease-endemic and
disease non-endemic countries, with special
focus on endemic areas, for the early
diagnosis of congenital transmission and
management of cases’’ [1]. This article
summarizes the recommendations of the
Technical Group IVa on ‘‘Prevention and
Control of Congenital Transmission and
Case Management of Congenital Infections’’
of the World Health Organization’s
Programme on Control of Chagas disease
(infection with Trypanosoma cruzi). The
present recommendations derive from
those obtained in the meetings listed in
Box 1.
