Diagnosis?
What is the object seen in image 3 (also present in image 2)?

Trypanosoma brucei gambiense/rhodiense
The object is a Mott cell (plasma cell)
Interesting. Agree with T. brucei. I believe there's only T. b. gambiense in Sudan, but depending on his travel history, rhodesiense is a possibility as well.
The object is a morula cell.
Trypanosoma brucei gambiense is my guess as well. Not sure of the other objects seen in image 2 and 3. Thanks for the case
I agree, T. brucei gambiense/rhodesiense. The geographic origin gave the biggest clue as well the microscopic morphology with a small kinetoplast and the relative large size of the trypanosome.

I think it is T.b.rhodesiense(the east African trypanosomiasis) and the fig.2 should be nodes of glial cell
