Description
Tiruneh and co-authors measure in 2024 worm infections and their linked factors among pregnant women in Jimma Town, Ethiopia. Infections in pregnancy can harm both mother and baby. Their cross sectional study enrolled 314 women at public clinics during antenatal visits from August to December 2021.
Stool checks in the third trimester used a standard thick smear method, and blood hemoglobin was read on site. Overall, 26.1 percent carried an intestinal worm infection. Soil transmitted worms hit 20.4 percent, while the blood fluke species hit 5.7 percent. Low birth weight ran at 6.4 percent and ran higher with late term infection patterns in their data.
