PREVALENCE OF HEPATITIS B VIRUS AND MALARIA AMONG PREGNANT WOMAN ATTENDING ANTENATAL
Abstract
ABSTRACT
This project highlight the analysis of hepatitis B virus in different groups donating blood comparatively in Talata Mafara Local Government. The prevalence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) and malaria among pregnant women attending antenatal care is a significant health concern globally. This abstract aims to highlight the prevalence rates of these infectious diseases in this particular demographic.
Hepatitis B virus infection during pregnancy poses substantial risks to both the mother and the unborn child, including the possibility of vertical transmission. Malaria, caused by the Plasmodium parasite, also presents risks to pregnant women, leading to complications such as anemia, low birth weight, and even maternal mortality.
Through a systematic review and analysis of relevant studies and medical records, this study investigates the prevalence rates of HBV and malaria among pregnant women attending antenatal care clinics across various regions. The research aims to determine the frequency of these infections, assess associated risk factors, and identify potential interventions for prevention and management.
