A Belgian traveller was diagnosed with human African trypanosomiasis (HAT) due to Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense nine days after visiting the Masai Mara area in Kenya. He presented with an inoculation chancre and was treated with suramin within four days of fever onset. Two weeks earlier, HAT was also reported in a German traveller who had visited the Masai Mara area. Because no cases have occurred in the area for over 12 years, this may indicate a focal cluster of HAT.
一名比利时旅行者在访问肯尼亚马赛马拉地区九天后被诊断出感染了罗得西亚锥虫(Trypanosoma brucei rhodesiense)引起的非洲人类锥虫病(HAT)。他出现了接种性下疳,并在发热后四天内接受了苏拉明治疗。两周前,一名德国旅行者也在马赛马拉地区报告了 HAT 病例。由于该地区 12 年来未发生过病例,这可能表明存在 HAT 局部聚集。
