Popis:	The aim of this study was to analyse the clinical and evolutive aspects of severe malaria in hospitalised children in 2000, 2001, and 2002 in Togo. The study included 361 children in the pediatrics department of Lome-Tokoin University hospital. All them received a 10% dextrose infusion, then an infusion of quinine or intramuscular artemether. Malaria accounted for 4.37% of all hospitalizations. Children aged 1 to 5 years were more affected (69.53%). The most frequent clinical forms were anaemia (55.7%) followed by cerebral manifestations. The frequency of hemoglobinuria increased (17.2%) as well as renal failure (3%) compared to previous years. Thirty-five children died (9.7%). Most of them presented with anaemia, neurological manifestations, or respiratory distress. Neurological sequels were present in 2.2% of patients.
