Diphtérie à Kédougou : 37 cas recensés dans la région, le département de Kédougou le plus touché
Diphtheria continues to be monitored in the Kédougou region. As of October 25, 2026, 37 cases had been recorded regionally, with a particularly high concentration in the Kédougou department.
Specifically, the Kédougou department accounts for 27 cases, representing nearly 73% of the regional total. It is followed by the Saraya department, which has recorded eight cases, while Salémata has two.
This geographical distribution shows that the department of Kédougou concentrates the majority of cases recorded in the region, ahead of Saraya and Salémata.
Faced with this situation, health vigilance is essential in order to limit the spread of this infectious disease which can lead to serious complications and requires rapid medical attention.
The available data, however, does not specify the number of potential deaths, the evolution of cases compared to previous reports, or the health measures implemented. Epidemiological surveillance, vaccination, and prompt access to healthcare facilities in the presence of suspicious symptoms remain essential elements in the fight against this disease.
