    • Clinical presentation and treatment decisions are influenced by environmental, nutritional, and immune factors.
    • Pregnancy outcomes can be impacted by parasitic infections.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the impact of intestinal parasites on pregnant women in a resource-limited setting.
    • To determine the necessity of antiparasitic drug therapy during pregnancy.

    Main Methods:

    • Observational study of 147 pregnant refugees in Southeast Thailand.
    • Monitoring of medical and obstetric health without antiparasitic drug administration.
    • Assessment of nutritional status and prenatal care.

    Main Results:

    • No significant medical or obstetric complications were observed in parasitized pregnant women.
    • Patients received adequate nutrition and close prenatal monitoring.
    • Absence of antiparasitic treatment did not lead to adverse outcomes.

    Conclusions:

    • Intestinal parasitism in pregnancy may not necessitate routine antiparasitic drug therapy.
    • Adequate nutrition and prenatal care are crucial for managing parasitic infections in pregnant women.
    • Chemotherapy should be reserved for cases with clear clinical or public health indications.
