Indoor residual spraying uptake and its effect on malaria morbidity in Ngoma district, Eastern province of Rwanda, 2018-2021.

Background: Indoor residual spraying (IRS) has been implemented in Rwanda in districts with high malaria transmission, including Ngoma District. The first IRS campaign (IRS-1) was conducted in March 2019, ahead of the peak malaria season, followed by a second campaign (IRS-2) in August 2020, targeting 89,331 structures.

Case Report: Pan-Drug Resistant from a Child with an Infected Burn Wound at the University Teaching Hospital of Kigali, Rwanda.

Background: is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in intensive care units, and is prevalent in nosocomial infections and cystic fibrosis. The increasing rates of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) complicate the treatment of infections, especially because of the multidrug resistance (MDR), extensively drug-resistant (XDR), and pan-drug resistant (PDR) strains.

Case Presentation: We report the case of a 4-year-old male with severe burns covering 45% of his body surface who developed nosocomial PDR infection at the University Teaching Hospital of Kigali (CHUK) in Rwanda.
