Core Tip	Among children admitted with severe malaria, concomitant bacterial sepsis is not uncommon and may be missed at presentation, contributing to early mortality. In pediatric emergency departments in Kinshasa, simple clinical signs-particularly respiratory distress-may help identify children at higher risk of co-infection, supporting early sepsis assessment and prompt integrated management in resource-limited settings.
