Trypanosomal "diarrhea"

African human trypanosomiasis, also known as sleeping sickness, is a vector-borne parasitic disease. Trypanosoma brucei and Rhodesia brucei are pathogens of African trypanosomiasis or African trypanosomiasis, and the vector insect is tongue fly. The Gambian trypanosomes are distributed along rivers or forests in West and Central Africa, and Rhodesia trypanosomes are distributed in savannahs and bushes along the savanna and lake shores of East Africa. African trypanosomiasis (African trypanosomiasis; African sleeping sickness) is clinically divided into three periods. The first is to cause different degrees of lumps and nodules after invading the skin, and evolve into trypanosomiasis. Often, the site of emergence is where the skin is exposed to the bite of a tsetse fly for about 3 weeks. The second is the hemolymph stage, when symptoms such as periodic fever and parasitemia occur, including burnout, lymph node swelling in the neck, joint pain, headache, and rash on the trunk. And liver damage is also common in jaundice. Once it has invaded the brain, it will enter the third stage of meningoencephalitis. At this time, headaches, insomnia, dyskinesias, and behavioral disorders will occur. Other symptoms include general weakness, a severe decline in appetite, and weight loss. The person may even suffer a decline in consciousness, coma, or even death.
