    Introduction : Face au nombre croissant de cas de refus d’hospitalisation d’une part et Ă  la faiblesse des capacitĂ©s d’hospitalisation d’autre part, le Burkina Faso a optĂ© pour un programme de suivi des patients Ă  domicile que nous Ă©tudions.MĂ©thodologie : Il s’est agi d’une Ă©tude transversale descriptive du 16 avril au 20 mai 2020, Ă  Ouagadougou des patients COVID-19 confirmĂ©s par PCR et pris en charge Ă  domicile.RĂ©sultats : Au total 222 patients avec une COVID-19 ont Ă©tĂ© recensĂ©s dont 30 patients (13,5%) pris en charge Ă  domicile. Le nombre moyen de suivi Ă©tait de 3,45 visites, l’âge moyen Ă©tait de 36,1 ± 16,7 ans et les enfants ainsi que les sujets de plus de 60 ans reprĂ©sentaient chacun 10% des cas. Parmi les patients, 60% Ă©taient des cĂ©libataires et 22% avaient une comorbiditĂ© dont les plus frĂ©quentes Ă©taient le diabète (13,2%) et l’hypertension artĂ©rielle (6,7%). Les principaux symptĂ´mes Ă©taient la toux (30,0%), l’asthĂ©nie physique (26,7%) et les cĂ©phalĂ©es (16,7%). Au cours du suivi, 33% des patients n’ont pas respectĂ© le confinement Ă  domicile : certains Ă©taient absents et d’autres Ă  leurs occupations sans port de masque ; Dans 10% des cas, les patients ont Ă©tĂ© hospitalisĂ©s et un dĂ©cès a Ă©tĂ© constatĂ©.Conclusion : Cette nouvelle pratique de prise en charge, si elle respecte certains critères d’éligibilitĂ© permettra de dĂ©sengorger les structures sanitaires et offrirait plus de confort et de sĂ©rĂ©nitĂ© aux patients.   English title: Home Care of COVID-19 in Burkina Faso at the Start of the pandemic (Preliminary Results)Background : Faced with the growing number of cases of refusal of hospitalization on the one hand and the weakness of hospitalization capacity on the other hand, Burkina Faso has opted for a home patient monitoring program, which we study.Methodology : This was a descriptive cross-sectional study carried out on COVID-19 patients confirmed by polymerase chain reaction and cared for at home from April 16 to May 20, 2020, in the city of Ouagadougou.
