Pregnant women are more likely than nonpregnant women to become infected with malaria and to have severe infection. The effects of malaria during pregnancy include spontaneous abortion, preterm delivery, low birth weight, stillbirth, congenital infection, and maternal death. Malaria is caused by the four species of the protozoa of the genus Plasmodium, which is transmitted by the bite of the female Anopheline mosquito, congenitally, or through exposure to infected blood products. This article reviews the epidemiology, pathology, clinical symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of malaria in pregnant women. Interventions to prevent malaria include intermittent preventive treatment, insecticide-treated nets, and case management of malaria infection and anemia.
孕妇比非孕妇更易感染疟疾且更易出现严重感染。孕期疟疾的影响包括自然流产、早产、低出生体重、死产、先天性感染和孕产妇死亡。疟疾由疟原虫属的四种原生动物引起，通过雌性按蚊叮咬、先天性传播或接触受感染的血液制品传播。本文综述了孕妇疟疾的流行病学、病理学、临床症状、诊断和治疗。预防疟疾的干预措施包括间歇性预防治疗、经杀虫剂处理的蚊帐以及疟疾感染和贫血的病例管理。
