Molecular Mimicry and Chagas' Disease
Abstract
Chronic Chagas' disease cardiomyopathy (CCC) is one of the few well-defined examples of human postinfectious autoimmunity in which an infectious episode with an established pathogen—the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi—clearly triggers autoimmune phenomena, most of which are related to documented molecular mimicry and organ-specific damage. Unraveling of the relationship by which molecular mimicry between an infectious agent and...
