Malaria in pregnancy causes significant maternal illness and poor birth outcomes globally. This review covers diagnosis, management, drug safety, and interactions with HIV for this high-risk condition.

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Malaria in pregnancy is a critical global health issue.
  • It leads to severe maternal morbidity and adverse birth outcomes.
  • Pregnancy alters immune status, favoring malaria parasite proliferation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the diagnosis and management of malaria in pregnant women.
  • To discuss the safety of antimalarial drugs during pregnancy.
  • To examine the complex interactions between malaria and HIV in pregnancy.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of existing studies and clinical guidelines.
  • Analysis of the pathophysiology of malaria in pregnant women.
  • Examination of epidemiological data on malaria in pregnancy.

Main Results:

  • Pregnancy exacerbates malaria, particularly Plasmodium falciparum.
  • Semi-immune women may have placental malaria without peripheral parasitemia.
  • Non-immune pregnant women and their fetuses face severe risks.

Conclusions:

  • Effective diagnosis and management are crucial for reducing adverse outcomes.
  • Antimalarial drug safety profiles in pregnancy require careful consideration.
  • Co-infection with HIV complicates malaria management in pregnant women.
