The study involved 158 patients presenting with one or more forms of severe malaria according to WHO severity criteria. The predominance of children aged 1 to 5 years was noted (72.3%). The anemic phenotype was the most frequent at 45.4%, while the mixed form was 32.8% and the anemic phenotype 21.5%. IM injectable artemether was used most frequently (59.5%), followed by injectable artesunate (32.9%), and two patients received quinine infusion (1.3%).
