RESUMO
Human African trypanosomiasis (sleeping sickness) is a parasitic tropical disease endemic to sub-Saharan Africa. Due to migration and holiday travel patterns cases are increasing in the United Kingdom. The neurological sequelae have dental management implications both directly from the consequent physical disability and indirectly from the oral side-effects of the medications used to manage symptoms. Changes in disease demographics require the dental profession to increase its awareness of migration medicine and the appropriate dental management of such diseases.
