Malnutrition is a serious Public Health problem; it is the cause of death for approximately 45% of children under the age of 5. Nutrition status assessment is one of a way which can contribute to resolve that issue. This descriptive cross sectional study has been conducted in Lwiro Health Area, in South-Kivu, at the East of DRC from December 2021 to Jun 2022. Its aim was to evaluate the nutritional status and mortality of children aged from 0-59 years. During this study, 366 children aged 0-59 months were admitted. Our data were processed and analyzed using Epi Info.; Epi Nut. Software helped us to standardize the anthropometric data. Z-score allowed us to determine the different forms of malnutrition. The chi-square test was useful to look for an association between the dependent variables and the independent and/or explicatory variables. The results showed that 62, 7% of our respondents were malnourished. The prevalence of global malnutrition was 6, 1%. Undernutrition was significant, particularly for stunting (33, 3%) and underweight (20, 8%). Our results show that 16, 7% of children had history of death under 5 years of age in their household, of which 15,5% were malnourished. Nutritional status influences the occurrence of death in children. A statically significant association was found between malnutrition and death (p=0, 0000001).

Today, home care is an essential response in the city, where the biomedical offer is strongnand in the countyside. In order to contribute to the improvement of survival of children aged 0-59 mois in the Lwiro region, we conducted a desciptive cross-sectorial stady from January 1 to December 32, 2020, on 198 cases of children aged 0-59 months with a diagnosis of maleria at admission.The explanatory variables were sex, age, reasons for consultation, nature and characteristics of the treatment at home, general condition of the patient, decision of the management. We used Epi Info software version 7.2.0.1.for data processing and analysis. The chi-square test with a significance level of 5% was performed to study the relationship between the independent and dependent variables. The age group of 12 to 23 months (32,3%) of cases was the most affected by malaria. The sex ratio was 1. The majority of cases were treated at home (91%). The first recourse of parents before the consultation was the of herbs, paracetamol, throat scraping and the section of the eyeglass. Home treatment remains an underlying cause of all cases of complicaions attributed to ma malaria in our surveys. It constitutes a real obstacle for the early management of malaria and its complications.

Of the differences non meaningful stat between the women having a parity lower to 4 and those having a parity superior and equal to 4, of or the fact of the luck. The prediction is 8% for the dead factor fetal uterine intra, 10% for the factor infection, 15% for Abortion, 19% for parity, factor Alcohol that has a prediction of 70%.

A transversal and analytic study was conducted to determine the economical factors of vulnerability of the households to malaria in Miti-Murhesa Health Zone during a period of January to December 2010, including 492 respondents.
