ABSTRACT
Woman, 42 years-old, receiving immunosuppressive therapy for a lymphoma, presented reagudization of Chagas' disease, from its indeterminate phase. Intense inflammatory visceral aggression, due to extensive intracellular proliferation of the Trypanosoma cruzi, was the likely mechanism for acute myocarditis leading to severe right ventricular failure. Antiparasite chemotherapy was effective in the control of visceral involvement and for the remission of cardiac failure. The clinical course in this case is compatible with the hypothesis of early right ventricular damage in Chagas' disease
