Abstract
Human African Trypanosomiasis (HAT) is a parasitic disease caused by a parasite called human trypanosomes. The disease is divided into two stages namely, stage-1 and stage-2. Priapism is an erectile dysfunction characterized by painful persistent erection of the penis for more than four hours and not related to sexual stimulation. We present a case of a patient in stage 1 of Rhodesiense HAT (rHAT) disease that presented with priapism. We conclude that priapism could be an additional clinical presentation of stage 1 of rHAT disease.
