Abstract excerpt

Drug resistance in Plasmodium falciparum affects prevention of malaria in pregnancy. In a cross-sectional study of 530 pregnant Ghanaian women, P. falciparum dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) gene mutations linked with pyrimethamine resistance were assessed and associations with pyrimethamine intake were analyzed. P. falciparum infected 69% of women without pyrimethamine use, 59% of those who had a history of...
