Abstract in Portuguese
O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a contribuição de linfoproliferação (1 parâmetro) em associação a provas sorológicas de alto desempenho (4 parâmetros), estudo epidemiológico (1) e parasitológico (1) em indivíduos com sorologia convencional inconclusiva para a doença de Chagas. Mostramos que o diagnóstico de doença de Chagas é provável quando 3 ou mais desses parâmetros são positivos em 7 (15/73). A combinação: TESA-blot e linfoproliferação positivos revelou-se útil diante de antecedentes epidemiológicos positivos

Abstract in English
This study aims to evaluate the contribution of lymphoproliferation (1 parameter) in association with high performance serological tests (4), epidemiological data (1) and parasitological tests (1) for Chagas disease in patients with inconclusive conventional serological tests. We showed that this diagnosis is probable in individuals presenting > three positive of these 7 parameters (15 of 73 individuals). The combination of TESA-blot, lymphoproliferation was useful when epidemiological data were positive
