Abstract
⺠Acute Trypanosoma cruzi infection results in parasitism and damage of skeletal muscles. ⺠Contractility of skeletal muscles is impaired during acute T. cruzi infection. ⺠Parasitism, inflammatory infiltrates, and fibrosis affect muscle contractility. ⺠Impairment of contractile properties depends on the percentage of damaged tissue.
