The sensitivity of the technique of hemoculture was studied in 152 women infected by Trypanosoma cruzi in the chronic phase of Chagas disease, 101 pregnant and 51 non pregnant (control group). Serologic tests were positive for two or three serologic tests of different principles in all women. According to gestational age, 25 patients were under 21 weeks of gestation, 55 between 21 and 30 weeks of gestation and 21 were over 30. The pregnant women had average age of 29.2 years (from 17 to 44 years) and the control group the mean age was 34.1 years (from 18 to 49 years). Higher positivity was observed in the group of pregnant, 60.4% (61/101) compared with the control group: 29.4% (15/51). Been made seven tubes for each hemoculture held for a total of 1.064 tubes that were examined monthly, until the 150th day, a total of 5.320 tests conducted microscopic. It examined the profile of parasitemia by the number of tubes positive, in the pregnant group, the parasitemia was low in 39,6% of the tubes, average at 22,8%, and high in 37,6%. In the control group, the parasitemia was low at 70.6 %, average at 15.7 % and 13.7 % high.For naturalness most (87) were from the state of Bahia, 50 women of Goiás and 15 of other states. These results show that the technique of hemoculture identified significant differences (p <0.001) in parasitemia in pregnant in relation to the control group. This increase due to pregnancy could well encourage an increased risk of congenital transmission. Also, it could be an indication of specific treatment after pregnancy.
