Popis:	Our objective is to report the case of a male patient submitted to kidney transplant from a living donor infected with Trypanosoma cruzi. The patient developed clinical manifestations of acute Chagas disease in the second post-transplant month and was successfully treated with benzonidazole. We discuss the possible means of transmission of Trypanosoma cruzi, the importance of its transmission to transplantation of solid organs, and the approach to this situation. Paciente submetido a transplante renal com órgão de doador vivo infectado pelo Tripanossoma cruzi e que desenvolve manifestações clínicas de doença de Chagas aguda no segundo mês pós- transplante, sendo tratado com sucesso com benzonidazol. Discutem-se as vias de transmissão e relevância clínica na transplantação de órgãos sólidos assim como as atitudes a serem tomadas diante desta situação.
