  abstract = {{T}he two classical forms of human trypanosomoses are sleeping sickness due to {T}rypanosoma brucei gambiense or {T}. brucei rhodesiense, and {C}hagas disease due to {T}. cruzi. {H}owever, a number of atypical human infections caused by other {T}. species (or sub-species) have been reported, namely due to {T}. brucei brucei, {T}. vivax, {T}. congolense, {T}. evansi, {T}. lewisi, and {T}. lewisi-like. {T}hese cases are reviewed here. {S}ome infections were transient in nature, while others required treatments that were successful in most cases, although two cases were fatal. {A} recent case of infection due to {T}. evansi was related to a lack of apolipoprotein {L}-{I}, but {T}. lewisi infections were not related to immunosuppression or specific human genetic profiles. {O}ut of 19 patients, eight were confirmed between 1974 and 2010, thanks to improved molecular techniques. {H}owever, the number of cases of atypical human trypanosomoses might be underestimated. {T}hus, improvement, evaluation of new diagnostic tests, and field investigations are required for detection and confirmation of these atypical cases.},
