It primarily affects infected pediatric and adult populations without overt clinical illness, representing the majority of chronic cases following the resolution of the acute phase

It primarily affects infected pediatric and adult populations without overt clinical illness, representing the majority of chronic cases following the resolution of the acute phase Clinically, it is defined by reactive serological testing for *T. cruzi* antibodies alongside a total absence of clinical symptoms, normal electrocardiographic findings, and no evidence of cardiac, gastrointestinal, or autonomic organ damage

Pathophysiologically, low-level intracellular parasite persistence and a host immune equilibrium characterize this state
