Abstract

This is the first report of mid-term evolution of patients with COVID-19 and Chagas Disease (CD). General characteristics, in-hospital evolution, and mid-term follow up of 12 consecutive patients at a single centre is described. A call for action is needed to screen for CD, especially in endemic areas, as the interaction of both diseases may lead to worse cardiac outcomes
