Abstract

Our case report describes the youngest clinical acute Chagas disease case and their unusual disease presentation of cardiac failure. In parts of the Brazilian Amazon, cultural practices include weaning infants from breastmilk to solid foods with açaí consumption serving as an intermediary. This practice could place infants at an increased risk of oral Trypanosoma cruzi infection and severe Chagasic cardiac disease.
