- • Absence of parasites in the CSF
- • The CSF WBC, measured at the investigational centre, must be between 6 and 20/μL for the patient to be included in the cohort of patients with intermediate-stage HAT and equal to or below 5/μL for the patient to be included in the cohort of patients with early-stage HAT.
- Exclusion Criteria:
