[Absence of epidemiologic interrelations between retroviral infection by HIV and human African trypanosomiasis (HAT)].
Authors are reporting results from 3 control-case surveys carried out in sleeping sickness foci in Cameroon, Central African Republic and Congo. HIV seroprevalence rates are comparable among sleeping sickness patients and trypanonegative control persons. These results lead towards the absence of inter-relationships between sleeping sickness and retroviral infection.
