一名在亚利桑那州图森市出生和长大的健康16岁女孩接受了筛查和确证性检测，发现了恰加斯病;临床评价确定她患有不确定形式的慢性恰加斯病，有证据表明可能是本土传播。通过常规聚合酶链反应在她家中捕获的红色锥虫中检测到克氏锥虫DNA。
A healthy 16-year-old girl born and raised in Tucson, AZ, had screening and confirmatory testing revealing Chagas disease; clinical evaluation established that she had the indeterminate form of chronic Chagas disease with evidence of likely autochthonous transmission. Trypanosoma cruzi DNA was detected by conventional polymerase chain reaction in Triatoma rubida captured at her home.
