Abstract
We describe two patients who underwent cardiac transplantation for chronic cardiomyopathy of Chagas' disease, and in whom the disease was reactivated with the development of cutaneous lesions. In both cases, the skin lesions regressed completely after 2 months of therapy with allopurinol.Keywords
