Parasite DNA extracted from blood samples was analysed to compare the genotypic profile of the P. vivax isolates collected from the patient during each of the three malaria episodes.
	7.	Research Impact of malaria during pregnancy on pregnancy outcomes in a Ugandan prospective cohort with intensive malaria screening and prompt treatment Pierre De Beaudrap, Eleanor Turyakira, Lisa J White, Carolyn Nabasumba, Benon Tumwebaze, Atis Muehlenbachs, Philippe J Guérin, Yap Boum, Rose McGready, Patrice Piola Malaria Journal 2013, 12:139 (24 April 2013) Abstract \| Full text \| PDF \| PubMed \| Editor’s summary Malaria in pregnancy is a major public health problem in endemic areas of sub-Saharan Africa and has important consequences on birth outcome. In this study, the timing, parasitaemia level and number of peripherally-detected malaria infections, but not the presence of fever, were associated with adverse birth outcomes. Hence, prompt malaria detection and treatment should be offered to pregnant women, with increased focus on mothers living in remote areas.
