Treatment and follow-up of the first case of human trypanosomiasis caused by Trypanosoma evansi in India

P P Joshi et al. Trans R Soc Trop Med Hyg. 2006 Oct.

Abstract

The first reported human case of trypanosomiasis caused by Trypanosoma evansi was treated using suramin. Patient follow-up indicates that the drug and specific regimen used were well tolerated. Clinical, serological and parasitological investigations at 6 months indicate complete cure of the patient. Suramin should be considered in the treatment of other cases of human T. evansi infection, if they occur.
