致编辑：克氏锥虫（Trypanosoma cruzi）是南美锥虫病的病原体，在拉丁美洲流行，有1600万至1800万人感染。1这种寄生虫通过一种锥虫自然传播，但也可以通过输血传播。尽管美国最近的研究发现T.结果表明，2，3例献血者中，绝大多数来自寄生虫流行的国家，仅有3例输血传播的T。1997年12月，在一项研究中，我们发现了一名60岁的多发性骨髓瘤妇女，她无意中输血。
To the Editor: Trypanosoma cruzi, the etiologic agent of Chagas' disease, is endemic in Latin America, with 16 million to 18 million people infected.1 The parasite is transmitted naturally by a triatome insect, but it can also be transmitted by blood transfusion. Despite recent studies in the United States that identified T. cruzi–seropositive blood donors,2,3 most of whom came from countries where the parasite is endemic, only three cases of transfusion-transmitted T. cruzi infection have been reported to date.3 In December 1997, during a research study, we identified a 60-year-old woman with multiple myeloma who was unintentionally transfused . . .
