| description |
Laos has a high incidence of infectious diseases and high prevalence of poverty. Malaria in pregnancy if of great public health interest. However, malaria has not been reported in Vientiane City for decades, but others diseases such as dengue fever, rickettsioses, typhoid fever, leptospirosis and Japanese encephalitis, have. In this prospective hospital-based study of the causes of fever in pregnancy, dengue fever was the most common diagnosis, followed by pyelonephritis with Escherichia coli, murine typhus, scrub typhus and typhoid fever. Severe consequences, including maternal death, miscarriage, stillbirth, low birth weight and preterm birth, were found among mothers with dengue fever, rickettsioses and typhoid. As a hospital-based study it has limitations and large community cohort studies will help us to learn more about fevers and their impact in pregnancy. |
