A member asked:
Please tell me, could the baby die if you're pregnant and get "african sleeping sickness"?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Trypanisomiasis: Yes. This could happen, but more importantly you must be evaluated and treated immediately and the therapy might interfere with a successful pregnancy. This is a fatal disease left untreated and should be dealt with by an infectious diseases expert with experience in dealing with this and with the help of the cdc.
