| hidden burden of malaria in indian women. | malaria is endemic in india with an estimated 70-100 million cases each year (1.6-1.8 million reported by nvbdcp); of this 50-55% are plasmodium vivax and 45-50% plasmodium falciparum. a recent study on malaria in pregnancy reported from undivided madhya pradesh state (includes chhattisgarh state), that an estimated over 220,000 pregnant women contract malaria infection each year. malaria in pregnancy caused- abortions 34.5%; stillbirths 9%; and maternal deaths 0.45%. bulk of this tragic outcome ... | 2009 | 19995437 |
