In a group of 596 delivering Ghanaian women, the sensitivities of peripheral blood thick film microscopy, ICT Malaria P.f/P.v test, and PCR in detecting microscopically confirmed placental Plasmodium falciparum infection were 42, 80, and 97%, respectively. In addition to the gross underestimation of placental malaria by peripheral blood film microscopy, submicroscopic infections were found to be a risk factor for maternal anemia.
在一组596名分娩的加纳妇女中,外周血厚涂片显微镜检查、ICT疟原虫/间日疟原虫检测以及PCR检测显微镜确诊的胎盘恶性疟原虫感染的敏感度分别为42%、80%和97%。除了外周血涂片显微镜检查对胎盘疟疾的严重低估外,亚显微镜感染被发现是孕产妇贫血的一个危险因素。
