"Chagoma describes a cutaneous erythematous reactive lesion at the insect bite inoculation site of the Trypanosoma cruzi parasite, the causative agent in Chagas disease 1-3. The lesion appears in the weeks after infection and may then persist for several weeks 1,2."
"'Chagoma' references Chagas disease with which it is associated, first described in 1909 by the Brazilian Carlos Justiniano Ribeiro Chagas (1879-1934), head of the Oswaldo Cruz Institute and director of the Malaria Control Program 3. He also named the causative agent, Trypanosoma cruzi, after his mentor Oswaldo Cruz."
