The authors report three cases of congenital transmission of T. gambiense. In two cases, the parasite has been found in the blood of the umbilical cord. In the third case, it has been found twenty hours after birth in the peripherical blood of a new born child whose mother was affected by trypanosomiasis. They report also two cases of pregnant mothers with sleeping sickness, whose children were born-unaffected by the disease. The authors believe that the placental transmission of the human african trypanosomiasis is more frequent than thought.
作者报告了3例冈比亚锥虫先天性传播的病例。在2例病例中，在脐带血中发现了寄生虫。在第3例病例中，在一名母亲患有锥虫病的新生儿出生20小时后，在其外周血中发现了寄生虫。他们还报告了2例患有昏睡病的孕妇，其孩子出生时未受该病影响。作者认为，人类非洲锥虫病的胎盘传播比想象的更为常见。
