Human African Trypanosomiasis, or African Sleeping Sickness, is a parasitic infection caused by Trypanosoma brucei (gambiense or rhodesiense), and one of the declared neglected tropical diseases. Sleeping sickness has high fatality rates and is a continued threat in several African countries. We present characteristic clinical and microbiologic features of a fatal case of African Sleeping Sickness in an HIV-infected individual.
