Resumo(s)
Nas áreas endémicas ele tripanosomíase, onde se tem levado a efeito o recenseamento e tratamento sistemático da população doente, observam-se significativas baixas elo índice de contágio, o que demonstra o progresso da terapêutica; porém, as descobertas que têm coroado os esforços dos investigadores têm levantado problemas que se nos apresentam ainda com incógnitas por solucionar. Verificou-se que o tratamento de cada doente em alguns casos, difìcilmente se adapta às normas de terapêutica geral escolhidas para uma dada comunidade, embora esta tenha uma importância que presentemente sobrepuja as necessidades do continente africano, onde o tratamento em massa de doentes tem obrigado à padronização de esquemas terapêuticos com os inconvenientes que só ulteriormente puderam ser postos em evidência, particularmente o aparecimento e aumento de estirpes químio-resistentes.
- In areas where trypanosomiasis is endemic, where systematic screening and treatment of the infected population has been carried out, significant reductions in the infection rate have been observed, demonstrating the progress made in treatment. However, the discoveries that have crowned the efforts of researchers have raised problems that still present us with unsolved questions. It has been found that the treatment of each patient in some cases is difficult to adapt to the general therapeutic standards chosen for a given community, although this is currently more important than the needs of the African continent, where the mass treatment of patients has forced the standardization of therapeutic regimens with drawbacks that only became apparent later, particularly the emergence and increase of chemoresistant strains.
