Chagas Disease and Breast-feeding
We searched the literature in PubMed (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed), EMBASE (http://www.elsevier.com/online-tools/embase), and Google Scholar (http://scholar.google.com/) for all published articles until January 2013, using the terms "breast-feeding" and "Chagas," "breastfeeding" and "Trypanosoma cruzi," "milk" and "Chagas," and "milk" and "Trypanosoma cruzi." No language, age, or sex restrictions were used. Both animal and human studies were considered. Direct access to some of the older publications was not possible, and information about results and conclusions was obtained from other articles.
