1™. PCR was six times more sensitive in detecting T. cruzi infection than ELISA/CMIA with prevalence values of 1.8% (12/658) and 0.3% (2/658), respectively, and kappa=0.28 (95%CI -0.03 - 0.59). In contrast, serology showed a sensitivity of 16.7% (95%CI 2.09 - 48.4) and a specificity of 100% (95%CI 99.4 - 10. All seropositive samples were found to be positive by PCR. The implementation of PCR as a complementary method for screening donors could reduce the probability of false negative and the consequent risk of transfusional-trans
