African Sleeping Sickness (Trypanosomiasis) | Causes, Symptoms and Treatment

Africa is home to a number of parasites that can cause diseases, one of which is
trypanosomiasis. Trypanosomiasis is a disease caused by an infection with a parasitic
protozoa from the genus trypanosoma. It is estimated that about 100,000 deaths occur
each year due to a Frenchman, some of which is Isis and these diseases averaged out to
be about $5 billion in 2016. The tsetse fly can actually take a blood meal and actually
become infected with the bloodstream, which can then be transmitted to other
individuals through traumatic contact. Triple-mask ointments (TMOs) can help prevent
the spread of this disease by entering into other sites such as the lymphatic system and
spinal fluid. If an individual is infected with Japan's trypanosome species, after
independence Amaya says there are some of the symptoms that may occur. One of these
symptoms is known as trypanosoma shanker, which is when the tsetse fly bites into the
person and injects the parasite into their bloodstream.


Diagnosis of African trypanosomiasis can be accomplished by a blood smear to see if we
actually can see the trypanosoma protozoa in a blood sphere. Isis is more important with
and some brute road essence because we can actually see them actually in the
bloodstream or in the blood and it can be positive in earlier stages. If the patient has
been found to be infected with trypanosoma brucei brucei gambians and it's been
determined that is an early then we can use pentamidine. If it was determined that it was
an early infection there was no cns involvement we could use sermon as the treatment
but if it was a late infection we'd have to use molar cipro. Melarsoprol can be 10 daily
injections can be used to treat trypanosomiasis.
