Overview
Chagas disease must be differentiated from other diseases the cause cardiomyopathy, hepatosplenomegaly, or esophageal/colonic dysfunction, such as electrophysiological cardiac diseases, GI hypomotility disorders, and malignancies.
Differentiating Chagas disease from other Diseases
Chagas disease should be differentiated from the following diseases:
Disease | Differentiating signs and symptoms | Differentiating tests |
---|---|---|
CNS lymphoma |
|
|
Disseminated tuberculosis |
|
|
Aspergillosis |
|
|
Cryptococcosis |
|
|
Chagas disease |
|
|
CMV infection |
|
|
HSV infection |
|
|
Varicella Zoster infection |
|
|
Brain abscess |
|
|
Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy |
|
|
