Trypanosomiasis
For anyone who watched "House" last night, here is a good link about African Sleeping Sickness. This is the one TV show I watch--a medical detective show covering unusual conditions, from colchicine toxicity to leprosy to African Sleeping Sicknesss! The main character is"Dr. House" --a brilliant, unbelievably cynical, yet peculiarly charming attending.

If anyone has a tape of the episode where super-doctor #2 does a two port no-touch vitrectomy on the young man with the bleeding diathesis who, during the operation, has his vision magically restored-- I would very much like a copy.
Wow.
And remember-- the groupies only sleep with the roadies to get to Mick.
Agreed, as in all medical television series, much of what is depicted is unreal and quite humurous. I missed the vitrectomy episode unfortunately!
