Résumé : The relation between breastfeeding and mortality among 2339 children under two years old and admitted to hospital with measles, diarrhoeal disease, or acute lower respiratory disease was analysed over a two-year period in Kigali, Rwanda. Case fatality rates were significantly lower in the breastfed than in the completely weaned children for all three diseases. This advantage held for all six month age groups. © 1981.
