The analyzed data were sex, age, place of birth, clinical staging, type of transmission, pregnancy condition, treatment and drug toxicity Results: Of 154 diagnosed, 34(22%) were males and 120(78%) were females, 68(56,6%) were pregnant at the time of diagnosis and 12(7,8%) they had been infected by mother-child transmission. The average age of infected women was 37.3(range 15-66) and in men was 55,8(range 13-73). Of all diagnosed, 29(19%) had cardiovascular and 6(3,9%) gastrointestinal diseases. Almost half are from bordering countries(Bolivia, Paraguay) Of our country, Chaco was the one that more number of cases contribute. They received treatment in accordance with the recommendations of the Ministry of Health 62 (40,3%) and 11(17,8%) of them evidenced drug toxicity. Conclusion: More women than men were diagnosed. Almost 60% during pregnancy. The cardiovascular affectation was diagnosed five times more than the gastrointestinal disease. Only 40% of those diagnosed were included in the treatment criteria.
