'Mystery disease' in Congo turned out to be malaria — and potentially, another disease
80% Informative
The Congo has a high incidence of malaria, a parasitic disease spread by mosquitoes.
Malaria is endemic to the country, but pinpointing the disease as a culprit in the unfolding situation is a complicated task.
To confirm an illness is driven by malaria, you need diagnostic tests to rule out other causes.
The Kwango province's food insecurity worsened between spring and fall of 2024 , the WHO said.
The WHO Director-General said, "It's possible that more than one disease is involved" Diagnostic tests and medications are now being transported to the Panzi health zone.
The medicines being deployed should help, Mordmüller said.
