Publisher Description
Introduction Malaria during pregnancy, particularly close to term, may entail two opposite effects on child survival. It may protect the infant against malaria infection and severe disease via acquired maternal immunity (AMI) (1-5). Or it may increase the risk of infant mortality, particularly neonatal mortality, mostly by increasing the risk of low birth weight, premature labour, intra-uterine growth retardation, placental infection and stillbirth (6-14).
