Short-course eflornithine in Gambian trypanosomiasis: a multicentre randomized controlled trial

Short-course eflornithine in Gambian trypanosomiasis: a multicentre randomized controlled trial

OBJECTIVE: A randomized controlled trial was conducted to determine whether 7 days of intravenous eflornithine (100 mg/kg every 6 h) was as effective as the standard 14-day regimen in the treatment of late-stage Trypanosoma brucei gambiense trypanosomiasis.
