Yet, authoritative documents barely mention malaria as a threat for pregnancy and normal foetal development in countries of the South-East Asia (SEA) Region. Almost all the published literature on the subject refers to Africa by presenting data principally related to Plasmodium falciparum which is supposed to cause a variety of adverse consequences, such as anaemia, cerebral malaria and deaths, etc. of both the mother and the baby. However, in some countries of the SEA Region, such as India and Sri Lanka, the dominant species is P.vivax, while in Myanmar and Thailand PJalciparum is the prevalent infection. P.malariae is also recorded in dense forests of countries of the Region. This article reviews 16 studies from India, 13 from Thailand, three from Sri Lanka, three from Myanmar and one from Indonesia, to estimate the burden of malaria-related adverse outcomes in the vulnerable group of pregnant women and their unborn children, in areas of stable and unstable (epidemic prone) transmission. The aim of the review is to strengthen the capacity of the Region to address the burden of malaria in pregnancy through science-based policies for decision-makers in ministries of health, and in the public and private sectors.
