Abstract
Sir In Sudan, 13.7% of women attending antenatal care are reported to have Plasmodium falciparum malaria, irrespective of age or parity, some of them severe cases [1]. Malaria can have serious adverse effects on pregnancy, e.g. low birth weight and maternal anaemia, and is the leading cause of maternal and perinatal mortality in Sudan [2-4].
