摘要: Gestation is a unique physiologic state that carries with it several immunologic consequences and results in changing susceptibility to various diseases. In contrast the well recognized excess vulnerability of primiparous women Plasmodium falciparum infection areas high malaria transmission, not known whether pregnancy associated higher prevalence helminth infection.
