Abstract:
An investigation of malaria was performed in 1083 women from 18 – 35 years old in Daklak province. The results showed that: a low malaria prevalence among women confirmed by microscopy and Parasight-F(+), accounting for 0.27%, of which the prevalence of pregnant women was 28%, postnatal women was 0.25% and women of reproductive age (non-pregnant) was 0.60%. Anemia prevalence among women was relatively high, accounting for 45% with predominantly slight anemia (severe anemia was found to be only 2%). The risk of malaria contracting among women at different stages of pregnancy has not been assessed due to the low malaria parasite prevalence needing further studies
