“…Approximately 8-14% of LBW babies are a result of preterm labor directly related to a malarial infection, and about 3-14% of infant death is related to the disease [3]. Precipitous labor and uterine rupture have also been reported as complications of malarial infection [31]. The incidence of malaria may be higher in HIV-positive pregnant females according to a study in Rwanda [32].…”
