Abstract

The case of a 12 year-old European girl who lived in Senegal for 9 months and who presented with Western-African trypanosomiasis is reported. The diagnosis was made because of the occurrence of uveomeningitis following progressive alteration of her general condition. A favorable outcome was observed after two intravenous courses of Eflornithine (difluoromethylornithine, DFMO).
