Two Cases of Malarial Infection in Pregnancy / 대한주산의학회잡지

ABSTRACT

Recently, in Korea, the number of malarial infections from endemic countries are in increasing and occasionally domestic infections are reported. But the malarial infection during pregnancy is rare case. We have experienced two cases of malarial infected pregnant women. They did not traveling in malaria endemic area and transfusion history. One had been treated during antepartum and delivered a healthy baby at term and her baby did not have any evidence of congenital malarial infection. But another pregnant woman has not been treated antepartum and treated after delivery. Her baby was infected with congenital malaria. Thus, we present these two cases with a brief review of literatures.
