Abstract
ⶠTrypanosoma cruzi persists in oral inflammatory foci of chronic chagasic patients. ⶠGum samples showing different degrees of inflammation revealed T. cruzi-DNA by PCR assays. ⶠParasite persistence in treated/untreated patients demonstrates hidden chagasic infection. ⶠGingival biopsy is a potential diagnostic tool to confirm T. cruzi infection.
