[Malaria and pregnancy. Report of a case of congenital Plasmodium falciparum malaria].
We report a case of congenital malaria due to a chloroquine-resistant strain of Plasmodium falciparum acquired in Mali. Ours is the first report of chloroquine-resistant congenital malaria in this part of Africa. We recall the various pathophysiologic, diagnostic and therapeutic features of this disease that should be considered in every neonate born to a mother who may have malaria. Although such cases are infrequent, we also discuss the very serious problems, mainly therapeutic, that they raise in several countries where they are endemic (South-East Asia and Africa particularly).
