Malaria grave en mujeres gestantes hospitalizadas entre el 2010 y el 2014 en el departamento de Antioquia, Colombia

Abstract: Introducción. La malaria (o paludismo) durante la gestación impacta negativamente la salud de la madre y del neonato, con alto riesgo de complicaciones clínicas y mortalidad. En las regiones de alta endemia se han caracterizado, especialmente, la anemia materna y el bajo peso al nacer, pero es poco conocido el espectro clínico en las zonas de baja endemia.Objetivo. Caracterizar clínica y epidemiológicamente los episodios de malaria en mujeres gestantes hospitalizadas en el departamento de Antioquia entre el 20… Show more

“…The frequency of GM was related to a higher frequency of anemia, infection in newborns, and lower birth weight, which is consistent with the available evidence in this field [7][8][9] and with the few previous reports from Colombia [10][11][12] . However, it is essential to clarify that no association was found with other events related to GM, such as abortion, fetal death, and stillbirth.…”

“…This situation is aggravated when considering that among the pregnant women of this research, some subgroups exceeded these frequencies and, therefore merit priority actions in healthcare, control, and prevention. Also, it is essential to emphasize the high frequency of submicroscopic infection (16.2%; 95% CI 3.7-18.8), which has been documented in previous studies 21,22 , demonstrating greater risks to the health of the mother-child pair since this type of infection is not treated, which means that it can progress to cases of severe fetal, congenital or neonatal malaria, and other consequences mentioned in the introduction [7][8][9][10][11][12] . Previous studies in the same endemic region confirm the pathological ability of microscopic or submicroscopic infections to produce malaria in the mother, the placenta, and the neonate [31][32][33] .…”

“…In Colombia, research on MAP is incipient, the few available studies have reported an increased risk of anemia, severe malaria with complications such as liver dysfunction, acidosis, and severe thrombocytopenia; lower birth weight and no record of neonatal or fetal deaths [10][11][12]. Furthermore, there are few studies that determine the magnitude of the problem.…”

“…or even a cross-reaction [7,8]. Indeed, despite the fact that Puerto Berrío municipality is an endemic area for P. falciparum and Plasmodium vivax malaria [9], Ríos et al did not include this latter Plasmodium species in order to rule out false positive results by B. bovis and B. bigemina IFA testing [2]. In this sense, interestingly, in 1972, Ludford et al demonstrated that 3/20 individuals throughout the course of an induced P. vivax infection developed antibodies to B. bovis of equal or higher titer than those to P. vivax, and lower or negative titers to P. falciparum [10].…”
