CRD SUMMARY:

The effectiveness of benznidazole for treating chronic Chagas’ disease was uncertain and observed benefits could be marginal. There was a lack of randomised evidence on treatment in the late chronic stage of the disease. Although the review was limited by a failure to formally assess study validity and report review processes, the authors’ cautious conclusions appear reliable.
