Out of all admissions 37 (11.6%) died, referred 11 (3.4%) and 271 (84.95%) discharged home.<br/><br/><br/>Conclusion and recommendation: The findings from this study revealed that, there is high fatality rate of malaria and good treatment outcome of under-five children admitted at Sekou-Toure hospital, there is much association between treatment outcome and hospital stay as well as treatment outcome and complications of malaria.
