The first reported human case of trypanosomiasis caused by Trypanosoma evansi was treated using suramin. Patient follow-up indicates that the drug and specific regimen used were well tolerated. Clinical, serological and parasitological investigations at 6 months indicate complete cure of the patient. Suramin should be considered in the treatment of other cases of human T evansi infection, if they occur. (c) 2005 Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
