African trypanosomiasis caused by Trypanosoma brucei gambiense has not been reported in Italy. We report 2 cases diagnosed in the summer of 2004. Theses cases suggest an increased risk for expatriates working in trypanosomiasis- endemic countries. Travel medicine clinics should be increasingly aware of this potentially fatal disease.
