Introduction The burden of morbidity and mortality from severe pneumonia remains high among children under five, particularly in resource-limited countries such as Burkina Faso. Targeted hospital-based interventions are essential to achieve Sustainable Development Goal 3.2, which aims to reduce under-five mortality to 25 deaths per 1,000 live(...)

Introduction: The bacterial etiology of meningitis in Burkina Faso is dominated by Neisseria meningitidis (Nm), Streptococcus pneumoniae (Spn) and Haemophilus influenzae (Hi), which are used epidemically. Low culture yields make it difficult to obtain data on the susceptibility profile of these pathogens. In the absence of such data, this stud(...)

Background
The World Health Organization recommends insecticide-treated mosquito nets (ITNs) as one of the main interventions to control malaria spread. The leading driver of this intervention is use of ITN; however, socio-demographic characteristics factors, access and possession of ITN could also influence its usage. Therefore, the present(...)

Un grand nombre de mutations sur les gènes codant l’hémoglobine conduit à différents types
d’hémoglobinopathies. Ces dernières peuvent être handicapantes pouvant mettre en danger le pronostic vital dans
certaines conditions comme la déshydratation, l’hypoxie, l’hyperthermie… D’où l’intérêt de l’étude de
l’hémoglobine à travers une électroph(...)

Abstract
Background
Maternal mortality has been used as the major indicator of maternal health for more than thirty years, but approximately two decades ago, the exploration of women with maternal near-miss (MNM) became a complement indicator to the investigation of maternal deaths (MD). Our objective was to determine the frequencies and cau(...)

Introduction: Neonatal infection is a public health problem due to its frequency and severity. Probabilistic antibiotic therapy must be as effective as possible, hence the importance
of knowing the bacteriological profile in order to improve the care of newborns. The objective of this study is to describe the bacteriological profile of neonat(...)

Background The World Health Organization malaria burden estimates produced from incomplete clinical casereporting and often outdated household asymptomatic parasitaemia surveys in children < 5 years old, are unreli-able. Surveillance target groups need to be expanded in line with the epidemiological shift in malaria-eliminatingcountries toward(...)

Insecticide-treated nets (ITNs) are crucial for preventing malaria and other vector-
borne diseases, effectively reducing transmission and mortality rates. However, their
uptake remains low, influenced by textile preferences, with polyester nets being
favored for comfort, despite their shorter lifespan compared to other materials. A
