 AB    Preliminary results are presented from this study which indicate that
       84.8% of pregnant women present at first antenatal visit with anemia (Hb
       11g/dl) an 8.7% of their infants (n = 230) have a hemoglobin at birth
       below 14g/dl. There is an association between pregnancy anemia and
       malaria. A case control study in pregnant women and an infant cohort
       study to 18 months of age, are employed to study the cause and effects
       of anemia and malaria on women and their infants health.
