Congenital malaria: rare but potentially fatal
Malaria will cause half a billion clinical episodes and one million deaths this year, with most deaths occurring in young African children. In areas of stable transmission, malaria has a distinct epidemiologic signature at the mother-newborn interface: pregnant women are relatively susceptible and newborns are relatively resistant .Congenital malaria, defined as parasitemia transmitted from ...
Neonatal and congenital malaria: a case series in malaria endemic
In this study congenital was differentiated from neonatal malaria based on the time of presentation from birth. Congenital malaria, as was previously defined, was used to classify cases 1 and 2 (Table 1).However, this description modified the definition for neonatal malaria that was applied by Runsewe-Abiodun et al. in Nigeria [].Therefore, for cases 3 and 4 (Table 1), this study considered ...
Epidemiology of clinical congenital and neonatal malaria in endemic
In order to attain the objectives set out in the global technical strategy against malaria 2016-2030, it is important to have accurate epidemiological data on malaria in all age categories, including those which are often neglected because of an apparent low burden of disease. The current systematic review with meta-analysis synthesizes the epidemiology of clinical congenital and neonatal ...
Diagnosing congenital malaria in a high-transmission setting ...
Congenital malaria is defined as the presence of Plasmodium asexual stages in newborn's cord or peripheral blood during the first week of life as a result of materno-fetal transfer of malaria ...
Malaria: Prevention, Diagnosis, and Treatment
Malaria treatment is determined by individual patient factors and geography. ... congenital transmission, or ... The clinical presentation of malaria ranges from asymptomatic parasitemia or ...
Congenital malaria
Congenital malaria was first reported in 1876, it is an extremely rare condition which occurs due to transplacental transmission of maternal infection. [1] [2] Maternal prophylactic treatments of malaria can be important when talking about the risk of congenital malaria, as the absences of these treatments can increase the chance for a fetus to ...
Treatment and prevention of malaria in children
The main clinical presentations of malaria in children are divided into uncomplicated malaria and severe malaria, which is typically categorised as either cerebral malaria or severe malarial anaemia. Congenital malaria (defined as peripheral parasitaemia in the first 28 days of life) is uncommon, but important, and the diagnosis can be missed ...
Malaria: Clinical manifestations and diagnosis in ...
The clinical manifestations of malaria vary with parasite species, epidemiology, immunity, and age. Issues related to clinical manifestations and diagnosis of malaria will be reviewed here. Technical aspects of laboratory tools for diagnosis of malaria are discussed further separately. The epidemiology, pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of ...
Congenital Malaria in a 20-Day-Old Neonate: A Case Report and
Congenital malaria refers to the transmission of malaria from an infected mother to her unborn child during pregnancy. This can happen if the mother experiences malaria symptoms during pregnancy, but it can also occur in cases where the mother is asymptomatic, making it difficult to diagnose both in the mother and the newborn. 1, 2 It is a rare ...
Challenging diagnosis of congenital malaria in non-endemic areas
Congenital malaria is usually defined as the detection of asexual forms of Plasmodium spp. in a blood sample of a neonate during the first week of life or later if there is no possibility of postpartum infection by a mosquito bite (out of malaria endemic area) [].Congenital malaria can be acquired by transmission of parasites from the mother to child during pregnancy or perinatally during ...
Congenital Malaria in a 2-Day-Old Neonate: A Case Report and ...
Congenital malaria is the presence of malaria parasites in a blood smear obtained from a neonate usually within 24 hours to 7 days of life. It has for long been regarded a rare condition. However, recent data indicate that congenital malaria complicates around 35.9% of live births globally, 0-37% in Sub-Saharan Africa and about 4-6.1% in Eastern Uganda.
Congenital malaria in a neonate: case report with a comprehensive
Clinical presentation of this condition in the neonate may offer a considerable diagnostic challenge, and differentiation from vector borne malaria in infants may be important from the management point of view. Hence a review of the differential diagnosis, management and prevention of congenital malaria has been attempted in the Indian perspective.
Congenital malaria in a neonate: case report with a comprehensive
Congenital malaria, occurring as a result of vertical transmission of parasites from mother to child during pregnancy or perinatally during labour is a rare clinical condition. ... Congenital malaria with atypical presentation: a case report from low transmission area in India. Malaria J. 2007; 6:43. 10.1186/1475-2875-6-43. [Europe PMC free ...
Congenital cerebral malaria: a masquerader in a neonate
Congenital malaria, which is caused by vertical transmission of malaria parasites, is a potentially fatal condition. Despite Africa's high malaria burden, congenital malaria is not routinely screened for, and thus may go undiagnosed. Malaria, if not treated promptly, can quickly progress to severe forms and result in death. Severe congenital malaria is believed to be uncommon in neonates due ...
Imported congenital malaria caused by Plasmodium ovale
Clinical presentation of congenital malaria is variable. In hyperendemic areas, most newborns are asymptomatic and may spontaneously clear parasitemia, thought to be mediated by transferred maternal antibodies and protective properties of fetal hemoglobin. 1 The proportion that progress to clinical disease in these settings is unclear, ...
Congenital Malaria
Congenital malaria can also occur in newborns whose mothers reported having malaria prophylaxis during travel or residence in endemic areas. In addition, the transmission may also occur across the placental barrier during labor or can also result when the newborn contacts the infected maternal blood during parturition. Thus, it is totally ...
Malaria in infants aged less than six months
Despite the protection provided by several factors, including maternal antibodies, the burden of malaria in young infants may be higher than previously thought. Infants with congenital or neonatal malaria may have a different clinical presentation than older children, and diagnosis may be confused with other neonatal diseases due to an overlap of clinical manifestations. In addition, there is ...
Prospective study of malaria in pregnancy, placental and congenital
Pregnancy Associated Malaria (PAM) includes three presentations: (i) Malaria in Pregnancy (MiP), which corresponds to the presence of Plasmodium in the peripheral blood of a pregnant woman; (ii) Placental Malaria (PM), when infection of this organ is demonstrated; and (iii) Congenital Malaria (CM), or transplacental transmission of the parasites causing infection in the newborn, discarding ...
Highlighting the burden of malarial infection and ...
In malaria-endemic areas, the first year of life is indisputably considered one of the most vulnerable periods for malaria disease, and malaria-associated mortality in this age group is typically high, usually as a consequence of severe anaemia, among other possible complications [].However, malaria disease during the first 4 weeks of life (which includes both congenital and neonatal malaria ...
