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. Lambarene, Gabon, 105 pregnant were recruited matched non-gravid female controls. The intestinal helminths was 66% (n=58) participants 36% (n=32) non-pregnant controls (P<0.001). multivariate analysis status an independent risk factor for being infected (AOR 95% CI: 3.0 [1.4-5.9]). These data show previously undescribed pattern sub-Saharan African community.
