Human African trypanosomiasis has not been reported in Nigeria since 2012. Nevertheless, limitations of current surveillance programs mean that undetected infections may persist. We report a recent case of stage 2 trypanosomiasis caused by Trypanosoma brucei gambiense acquired in Nigeria and imported into the United Kingdom.
自2012年以来,尼日利亚尚未报告过人类非洲锥虫病病例。然而,当前监测项目存在局限性,这意味着未被发现的感染可能依然存在。我们报告了近期一例由布氏冈比亚锥虫引起的二期锥虫病病例,该病例是在尼日利亚感染,后输入英国的。
