Berenil in the treatment of Trypanosoma gambiense infection in man

Abstract
1. 1) Seventeen early cases of T. gambiense sleeping sickness have been treated with Berenil at a dose rate of 2 mg./kg. body weight. 2. 2) Cure was effected in 16 of the patients. The 17th patient relapsed and became an advanced case. He was subsequently cured with Antrypol and tryparsamide. 3. 3) Thirty-one cases treated with pentamidine as controls fared badly. At the follow-up 1 year after treatment two patients had relapsed clinically and others showed a deterioration in their condition by an increase either in the cell count or protein content of the C.S.F.
