description Aims: To assess the prevalence of Chagas disease in pregnant women in Iquitos City, Peru. Material and Methods: Cross-sectional survey in 300 pregnant women in Iquitos (Peru) from 1 May 2019 to 15 June 2019. Women were tested using an ELISA serology test. Results: Serology was positive in one case (prevalence: 0.33%; 95% confidence interval: 7.1–13.9%), of a 25-year-old woman who lived in a wooden house with a leaf roof in a periurban area of Iquitos. She was familiar with kissing bugs and had chronic, asymptomatic Chagas disease. Conclusion: The prevalence of Chagas disease is low in the urban and peri-urban area of the city of Iquitos.
