It is a public health problem because of its frequency associated with high morbi-mortality. The objective of this research was to determine the frequency of mellitus diabetes in under 15-year-old patients in Butembo Town. Method: it was a cross-sectional descriptive study realized at the University Clinics of Graben from January 1st, 2017 to December 31st, 2021. Results: Between 2017 and 2021, 3,681 children and adolescents were hospitalized at the University Clinics of the Graben Pediatrics Department. Out of them, 49 were diagnosed with mellitus diabetes, which indicates a prevalence of 1.331 %. The majority of patients were males, with high frequencies observed between the ages of 2 to 12 years. Common complaints included coma, polyurea-polydipsia, vision troubles, fever, weight loss, and growth retardation. Complications in infants and adolescents with diabetes included retinopathies, neuropathies, coma, infection, and ketoacidosis. The patients were admitted with extreme glycemia, with many suffering from hypoglycemia. Forty-three out of the 49 patients received insulin, and five of them died. Conclusion: Mellitus diabetes in young remains a health problem in Butembo. Effective healthcare must include medical professionals, the population, and the state.

The objective of this work is to assess the level of knowledge, attitude and practices of young girls aged 8 to 25 in terms of menstrual hygiene management in the city of Butembo in order to identify opportunities and constraints for the implementation of an intervention focused on the promotion of menstrual hygiene in the city of Butembo. Method: This is a cross-sectional and cross-sectional descriptive survey in the school institutions of Butembo, 594 young girls participated under study. Results and discussion: 13.8% of young girls say they do not know what menstruation is about or that it is a pathological phenomenon. 84.20% are informed about menstruation before their menarche. The first information about menstruation is given mainly in a family context and rarely at school. 58.20% have their menarche without knowing what it is; and react with fear or hide. At each cycle, 68.70% of girls who have already had their menarche claim to be embarrassed or worried about the period of menstruation. 70.54% of girls have bans during the period of menstruation. 57.7% no longer use the same type of material as in their menarche because of the cost of the material. 6.76% of girls do not wash their hands after changing protective equipment during menstruation. After using protective equipment during menstruation, 39.9% throw it in the toilet, 27.0% bury it, 18.4% throw it in the household trash and 14.7% burn it. When protective equipment is soiled at school or at the place of service, 44.1% of girls bring it home to dispose of it, 33.3% dispose of it in the toilet. 27.10% of girls claim to make a change in their activities during menstruation; 12.9% of girls think that menstruation has an impact on their personality. Conclusion: the level of knowledge of menstrual hygiene measures is still low in our environment. Measures to improve it would raise the level of reproductive health among young girls.
