      Acutely infected rats developed changes in the endothelial layer characterized by EC swelling and a few points of cytoplasmic discontinuity that appeared as holes exposing the subendothelial collagen that is usually associated with platelet–fibrin aggregates, which might affect the generation of vasoactive substances, and impairs the equilibrium between opposing forces (Rossi, 1997). In vitro and in vivo studies indicate that infection of the endothelium results in expression of both pro-inflammatory cytokines and vascular adhesion molecules, which are important components of the inflammatory response (Huang et al., 1999a,b; Tanowitz et al., 1992a,b). Infection of ECs activates NF-κB and likely contributing to the induction of cytokine and adhesion molecular expression in the endothelium (Huang et al., 1999a).

      Vascular perfusion was also evaluated by autoradiographic imaging utilising the fatty acid analogue 19-ido-3,3-dimethyl-18 nonadecenoic acid (DMIVM). There was a marked decreased in heart perfusion during acute infection (Tanowitz et al., 1992b; Fig. 6). These studies demonstrated that T. cruzi infection caused a generalised vasculopathy in many vascular beds.
