- <p>Parasitic infections are a major cause of maternal and perinatal morbidity, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. Pregnancy-related immunosuppression increases susceptibility to infections such as malaria, toxoplasmosis, and helminthic infestations. This retrospective study analyzed 60 pregnant women diagnosed with parasitic infections between 2018 and 2024, assessing maternal complications and perinatal outcomes. The most common infection was malaria, followed by toxoplasmosis and helminthic infections. Major maternal complications included anemia, preterm labor, and severe infection, while perinatal outcomes included low birth weight, intrauterine growth restriction, and neonatal death. Delayed diagnosis and inadequate treatment were identified as key risk factors for poor outcomes. Early screening, timely intervention, and appropriate preventive measures are essential to reduce adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes associated with parasitic infections.</p>
