Malaria asociada al embarazo: revisión narrativa
Keywords:
Embarazo, Malaria, Malaria Falciparum, Malaria Vivax, Placenta, Falciparum, Vivax, PregnancyAbstract
Las infecciones por malaria incrementan el riesgo de presentar complicaciones en el binomio madre-feto. En Venezuela, la casuística de este grupo vulnerable no se ha actualizado en los últimos años. El objetivo de esta revisión narrativa fue describir exhaustivamente qué es la malaria asociada al embarazo y sus efectos maternos, fetales y neonatales; tratando de contestar la siguiente pregunta de investigación. Todas las formas de la malaria asociada al embarazo, incluyendo malaria gestacional, placentaria y congénita, causan alteraciones materno-fetales y neonatales que, de progresar, podrían llevar a la muerte de este binomio. La fisio-patología e inmuno-patología logran explicar la sintomatología de las gestantes y del feto, así como sus complicaciones; dependiendo de la forma parasitaria afectante. Existen nuevas actualizaciones en el diagnóstico, prevención y tratamiento de esta entidad.
Malaria infections increase the risk of complications in the mother-fetus binomial. In Venezuela, the casuistry of this vulnerable group has not been updated in recent years. The objective of this narrative review was to comprehensively describe what pregnancy-associated malaria is and its maternal, fetal and neonatal effects; trying to answer the following research question. All forms of pregnancy-associated malaria, including gestational, placental and congenital malaria, cause maternal-fetal and neonatal alterations that, if they progress, could lead to the death of this binomial. Physiopathology and immunopathology can explain the symptoms of pregnant women and the fetus, as well as their complications; depending on the parasitic form affecting. There are new updates in the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of this entity.
