Abstract:
Rheumatic heart disease is common in the undeveloped world; Chagas disease, a typical rural parasitic condition started to affect urban areas. Both have a relatively high incidence and prevalence in Latin America, however, we could not find a report of patients with coincidental rheumatic heart disease and Chagas disease. Herein we report the first documented case.
