Selon les autorit\u00e9s sanitaires, plus de 3\u202f500 cas ont \u00e9t\u00e9 signal\u00e9s en 2025, tandis que l\u2019apparition de nouveaux foyers en 2026 suscite une vive inqui\u00e9tude parmi les populations locales et les professionnels de sant\u00e9.<\/p>\n

La ministre burundaise de la Sant\u00e9 publique, Lydwine Baradahana, a r\u00e9cemment confirm\u00e9 la r\u00e9surgence du chol\u00e9ra, indiquant que 18 nouvelles infections ont \u00e9t\u00e9 enregistr\u00e9es en une seule journ\u00e9e en avril 2026, tandisque que 34 patients sont actuellement pris en charge dans des centres sp\u00e9cialis\u00e9s \u00e0 l\u2019h\u00f4pital Prince Regent Charles de Bujumbura. Elle a qualifi\u00e9 la situation d\u2019\u00ab inqui\u00e9tante \u00bb, soulignant qu\u2019il s\u2019agit du premier rebond significatif de l\u2019ann\u00e9e 2026.<\/p>\n

Le chol\u00e9ra, infection bact\u00e9rienne caus\u00e9e par Vibrio cholerae, se transmet par l\u2019ingestion d\u2019eau ou d\u2019aliments contamin\u00e9s. La maladie entra\u00eene une diarrh\u00e9e s\u00e9v\u00e8re et une d\u00e9shydratation rapide, pouvant \u00eatre mortelle si elle n\u2019est pas trait\u00e9e rapidement. Elle est souvent li\u00e9e \u00e0 des conditions d\u2019hygi\u00e8ne pr\u00e9caires, \u00e0 l\u2019insuffisance des infrastructures d\u2019eau potable et \u00e0 un assainissement d\u00e9faillant, des probl\u00e8mes persistants dans plusieurs r\u00e9gions du pays.<\/p>\n

Cette r\u00e9surgence serait due \u00e0 un manque d\u2019hygi\u00e8ne et \u00e0 de faibles mesures d\u2019assainissement dans certaines communaut\u00e9s, favorisant la propagation de l\u2019infection. Dans plusieurs quartiers de Bujumbura, les habitants d\u00e9noncent \u00e9galement l\u2019acc\u00e8s irr\u00e9gulier \u00e0 l\u2019eau potable, rendant difficiles les gestes de pr\u00e9vention \u00e9l\u00e9mentaires, comme le lavage r\u00e9gulier des mains.<\/p>\n

Les conditions socio-\u00e9conomiques pr\u00e9caires, surtout dans les zones urbaines surpeupl\u00e9es et les quartiers d\u00e9favoris\u00e9s, aggravent consid\u00e9rablement la lutte contre les maladies hydriques. Sans un acc\u00e8s fiable \u00e0 l\u2019eau potable, la cha\u00eene de transmission du chol\u00e9ra reste intacte, mena\u00e7ant la vie de milliers de personnes, alertent les experts m\u00e9dicaux.<\/p>\n

Par ailleurs, les services sanitaires burundais, d\u00e9j\u00e0 confront\u00e9s \u00e0 des ressources limit\u00e9es, doivent g\u00e9rer cette flamb\u00e9e tout en maintenant les soins pour d\u2019autres affections.<\/p>\n

Les experts sanitaires lancent un appel urgent \u00e0 des mesures imm\u00e9diates et \u00e0 un renforcement du soutien pour garantir l\u2019acc\u00e8s \u00e0 l\u2019eau potable et aux installations sanitaires, avertissant que sans ces interventions, la maladie risque de se propager rapidement, exposant gravement les populations vuln\u00e9rables.<\/p>\n
