The Democratic Republic of Congo is investigating a mysterious disease outbreak in Kwango province, with early lab tests pointing to malaria as a potential cause. According to WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, 10 out of 12 samples tested positive for malaria, though other infections, such as measles or mosquito-borne diseases, may also contribute. The outbreak has affected 416 people, primarily malnourished individuals, causing 31 deaths. The disease presents flu-like symptoms, including fever, headache, cough, and anemia, which suggests it could be linked to known causes. Limited health infrastructure in the remote Panzi district hampers swift diagnosis and containment efforts. The Africa CDC and WHO have deployed teams to support local authorities, but logistical challenges, including poor roads and limited lab capabilities, complicate the response.
