Splenectomy and experimental infection of mice by a virulent strain of trypanosoma cruzi

Authorship SCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

Splenectomy seems to increase susceptibility of mice to a jurther infection with a virulent strain of Trypanosoma cruzi. Parasitemia increases with splenectomy and the sooner the infection follows the operation, the greater the parasitemia. The mortality rate seems to have not been influenced by splenectomy.
