We report two microbiologically confirmed cases of trypanosomiasis in short-term Australian travelers to Malawi. The initial diagnosis was followed by medi-evacuation to South Africa where suramin therapy was commenced. The treatment course was completed on return to Australia, with subsequent follow-up. This diagnosis should be considered in travelers returning from an endemic region.
我们报告了两名前往马拉维的短期澳大利亚旅行者中经微生物学确诊的锥虫病病例。初步诊断后，患者被医疗后送至南非，在那里开始使用苏拉明进行治疗。治疗疗程在返回澳大利亚后完成，并进行了后续随访。对于从流行地区返回的旅行者，应考虑这一诊断。
