Due to the economical lack of safe drugs in a remote area of Ghana (Bawku District) to treat Schistosoma haematobium infection during pregnancy, the spontaneous outcome of the pregnancy in women with proved S. haematobium infection was compared with a control group (average hospital delivery). In a survey of 200 pregnant women, we found a prevalence of S. haematobium of 4.5%. From the original collection of 41 infected pregnant women we could follow 23 up to delivery. This group showed a higher number of preterm (less than 37 weeks) deliveries, 34.8% vs. 23.8% in the control group. The birthweights in term deliveries (greater than 37 weeks) were not significantly different (3012 g vs. 3103 g). In the preterm deliveries the birthweight was significantly lower in the infected group (1768 g vs. 2457 g, p less than 0.005).
由于加纳偏远地区（巴库区）缺乏治疗孕期埃及血吸虫感染的安全药物，我们将确诊感染埃及血吸虫的孕妇的妊娠自然结局与对照组（平均医院分娩情况）进行了比较。在对200名孕妇的调查中，我们发现埃及血吸虫感染率为4.5%。在最初收集的41名感染孕妇中，我们追踪到23名直至分娩。该组早产（少于37周）分娩的数量较多，为34.8%，而对照组为23.8%。足月分娩（大于37周）的出生体重无显著差异（3012克对3103克）。在早产中，感染组的出生体重显著较低（1768克对2457克，p小于0.005）。
