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
