Abstrakt: Objective: The effectiveness of intermittent preventive treatment of malaria in pregnancy with sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (IPTp-SP) is threatened by increasing SP-resistance in Africa. We assessed the level of SP-resistance markers, and the clinical and parasitological effectiveness of IPTp-SP in southern Mozambique.
Methods: P. falciparum infection, antimalarial antibodies and dhfr/dhps SP-resistance mutants were detected by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR), suspension array technology and targeted deep sequencing, respectively, among 4016 HIV-negative women in Maputo province (2016-2019). Univariate and multivariate regression models were used to assess the association between taking the recommended three or more IPTp-SP doses (IPTp3+) and parasitological and clinical outcomes.
Results: 84.3% (3385/4016) women received three or more IPTp-SP doses. The prevalence of quintuple mutants at first antenatal care (ANC) visit was 94.2%. IPTp3+ was associated with a higher clearance rate of qPCR-detected infections from first ANC visit to delivery (adjusted odds ratio [aOR]=5.9, 95% CI: 1.5-33.3; p = 0.012), lower seroprevalence at delivery of antibodies against the pregnancy-specific antigen VAR2CSA DBL34 (aOR=0.72, 95% CI: 0.54-0.95; p = 0.022), and lower prevalence of low birth weight deliveries (aOR: 0.61, 95% CI: 0.41-0.90; p = 0.013).
Conclusion: A sustained parasitological effect of IPTp-SP contributes to the clinical effectiveness of IPTp3+ in areas with high prevalence of SP-resistance markers.
