To appraise the prevalence of malaria and anaemia in antenatal mothers; and explore the factors influencing coverage of intermittent preventive treatment (IPT) with sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP) under operational conditions in the national programme for malaria control in pregnancy.
Descriptive cross-sectional survey.
The reproductive and child health clinic in Kibaha district hospital, Tanzania SUBECTS: Pregnant mothers on routine antenatal visits
Prevalence of malaria (peripheral parasitaemia) and anaemia, coverage of IPT with SP and the factors influencing coverage.
A total of 395 mothers were recruited; 27.3% had malaria. Moderate anaemia i.e. haemoglobin (Hb) level 8. -10.9 g/dl was detected in 56.7% of mothers; 34.2% had severe anaemia (Hb < 8.0 g/dl). Hb > 8.0 g/dl was strongly associated with negative parasitaemia while Hb < 8.0 gidl was strongly associated with positive parasitaemia. About a third (40.0%) of the mothers did not receive SP for IPT

疟疾（外周血寄生虫血症）和贫血的患病率、SP的IPT覆盖率以及影响覆盖率的因素。
共招募了395名母亲；27.3%患有疟疾。56.7%的母亲检测到中度贫血，即血红蛋白（Hb）水平为8. - 10.9 g/dl；34.2%患有重度贫血（Hb < 8.0 g/dl）。Hb > 8.0 g/dl与寄生虫血症阴性密切相关，而Hb < 8.0 g/dl与寄生虫血症阳性密切相关。约三分之一（40.0%）的母亲未接受用于IPT的SP治疗
