Malaria is a major public health issue in the Central African Republic (CAR) despite massive scale-up of malaria interventions.
However, no information is available on the incidence of malaria in febrile illness cases or on the distribution of malaria infection according to demographic characteristics, which are important indicators and valuable epidemiological surveillance tools.
This study therefore aimed to characterize malaria in the network of sentinel sites set up for influenza surveillance.
A retrospective analysis was conducted to explore the data from these sentinel sites from 2015 to 2018.
The Paracheck-Pf® rapid diagnosis test kit was used to screen for malaria in febrile illness cases.
A total of 3609 malaria cases were identified in 5397 febrile patients, giving an incidence rate of 66.8%.
The age group of 1–4 years was the most affected by malaria (76.0%).
Moreover, prevalence varied across different sentinel sites, with the Bossembele Health Center, located in a rural area, showing an incidence of 96%, the Saint Joseph Health Center in a semiurban area of Bangui showing an incidence of 75%, and the Bangui Pediatric Complex in an urban site with an incidence of only 44.6%.
Malaria transmission was holoendemic over the four-year study period, and malaria incidence decreased from 2016 to 2018.
The incidence of malaria coinfection with influenza was 6.8%.
This study demonstrated clear microspatial heterogeneity of malaria.
Malaria was consistently the most frequent cause of febrile illness.
Including sites in different climate zones in the CAR will allow for a more representative study.
