From March to December 2000, we carried out a prospective study in the emergency and the internal medicine wards of Bobo-Dioulasso central hospital (Burkina Faso). Among 280 adults with clinical diagnosis of severe @entity311 , only 60 were confirmed to have severe forms of @entity311 after the laboratory investigations. Most of these @entity1 (49 cases) were living in the city. The average age was 29.2 years +/- 13.1. At hospital admission, the average temperature was 39.1 degrees C +/- 1 and signs of severe @entity311 were dominated by impaired consciousness (43 cases), multiple @entity410 (6 cases) and severe @entity417 (6 cases). Two of these signs were associated in the third of @entity1 . The average parasite density at admission was 11,660 parasites per microliter. 85% of @entity1 hospitalized recovered, 8% died and 7% escaped. The control thick smear at day 3 showed that 23% of @entity1 were still positive. At day 7 none of them was positive. @entity311 in adults in urban area is a phenomenon which needs to be assessed and followed in African big towns.
