Co-occurrence of symptoms is a public health problem in many developing countries. In part due to a lack of appropriate data, there is little evidence of linkages between co-occurrence of diarrhoea and fever, and environmental and demographic factors. We use data on the five neighbourhoods followed by the Ouagadougou Health and Demographic Surveillance System to examine the influence of environmental and demographic factors on the co-occurrence of diarrhoea and fever. Multivariate ordered logit models show that the effects of environmental and demographic factors are more important for diarrhoea or fever than for diarrhoea and fever. The results of the analysis also show that unsanitary housing, the nature of the ground outside, and the child's age are important factors in co-occurrence of diarrhoea and fever in children.
