Use of fexinidazole in gambiense human African trypanosomiasis: a retrospective analysis of cases treated in Lui Hospital, South Sudan (2018–2024)
Patients treated with fexinidazole and pentamidine/NECT showed similar results in terms of outcome at discharge and ADRs, in line with current data available in literature. However, few real-life studies on efficacy of fexinidazole treatment were published: to our knowledge, this is the first one conducted in South Sudan.
