Overview
[[Malaria is still common in endemic regions however Neonatal Malaria it is very rare in endemic as well non- endemic regions. The vertical transmission of Malarial parasites mostly occurs at time of delivery. Even though it is malaria in pregnancy can result premature labour, Intrauterine Growth Retardation, high perinatal mortality, anaemia, miscarriage, and low birth weight.
Epidemiology
Malaria is still responsible for a significant burden of disease, estimated to cause more than 300,000 fetal and infant deaths and 2,500 deaths of pregnant women worldwide annually.[1]
