Children under 5 years of age accounted for 81.4% of cases, with a predominance of males (sex ratio of 1.14). Fever was the main reason for consultation (60.9%). The most frequently performed tests were complete blood count (100%) and thick smear\/rapid diagnostic test for malaria (92.5%). Severe malaria was the leading cause of admission (42.7%), followed by respiratory infections (20.4%). The case fatality rate was high, reaching 23.3%.
