Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science and Dental Research - Year 2019, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Malaria is a serious public health challenge especially in the developing world like Nigeria. It is more devastating in highly endemic areas like our country. The infection has no age and sex limit but is more felt among the les preveiledged because of poor income to cater for medical expenses. Malaria infection is more prevalent among the pregnant women and children due to low immunological status of the patient. Malaria infection impacts negatively on the babies ranging from low birth weight to high mortality and anaemia. More serious measures should be adopted to prevent the speed of malaria and pregnant women should be properly managed to ensure sound life and that of their children.The paper discussed the implications of malaria infection to children.
