Chagas disease or American trypanosomiasis is an infection caused by Trypanosoma Cruzi. This flagellated blood parasite reproduces in tissues and organs. Chagas disease presents two phases. The acute phase can be asymptomatic and the chronic phase that is characterised by symptoms that could affect not only the digestive and nervous system but the heart. This review aims to depict the main diagnostic direct and indirect methods of Chagas disease which have been applied to acute and chronic phases respectively. However, Chagas disease diagnosis does have some limitations: low sensitivity of indirect methods, related to low blood parasite concentration, and low specificity of parasitological methods. Therefore, the WHO recommends that two tes...
