Abstract

Malaria in pregnancy is associated with adverse maternal and foetal outcomes especially in sub- Saharan Africa. Sulphadoxine Pyrimethamine (SP) is recommended for Intermittent Preventive Therapy (IPT) against malaria in pregnancy. However, resistance to SP has been linked to reduction in its effectiveness. WHO recommends uptake of SP at each Antenatal Care (ANC) visit at least four weeklies apart, but the effects of number of doses of SP on clearance of malaria parasitaemia and pregnancy outcome still require comprehensive review.
