Popis:	Malaria infection in pregnancy is a serious disease with feto-maternal adverse outcomes. In this study we evaluated and compared the haematologic parameters of pregnant women with and without malarial infection. This case-control study included a total of 145 participants (59 pregnant women with malaria and 86 aparasitemic pregnant women). Haematological parameters were evaluated using an automated hemo-analyser. Haemoglobin, platelet, white blood cell and platelet distribution width (PDW) of pregnant women with malaria were found to be significantly lower than pregnant without malaria. However, the mean platelet volume (MPV) of pregnant women with malaria was significantly higher than those without infection.Impact Statement
