Abstract:
Recently, in Korea, imported malarial infections are increased and occasionally domestic infections are reported. But the malarial infected pregnant women are seldom cases and we have experienced second trimester infected one. She had no traveling and transfusion history. She delivered a healthy baby at term by repeated cesarean section and her baby had no evidence of congenital malarial infection. We treated her with hydroxychloroquine at antepartum and primaquine at postpartum. We present this case with a brief review of literatures.
