[Congenital malaria]
Several physiopathological hypothesis may explain the frequent transmission of malaria from a pregnant woman to the foetus, and its obstetrical consequences. Because of immunological reasons, such a transmission is most often silent, but some severe forms of congenital malaria do exist and they justify the chemoprophylaxy for pregnant women, and the treatment of any presumptive attack of malaria during pregnancy.
