Caesarean delivery of first prediagnosed COVID-19 pregnancy in Nigeria.

The COVID-19 pandemic is currently causing widespread infection and deaths around the world. Since the identification of the first case in Nigeria in February 2020, the number of confirmed cases has risen to over 9,800. Although pregnant women are not necessarily more susceptible to infection by the virus, changes to their immune system in pregnancy may be associated with more severe symptoms.

Association between maternal serum homocysteine concentrations in early pregnancy and adverse pregnancy outcomes.

Background: There is still conflicting evidence on the extent to which maternal hyperhomocysteinemia is a risk factor for pregnancy complications.

Aims: The study aimed to investigate the impact of elevated maternal homocysteine concentrations on adverse pregnancy outcomes among Nigerian women in Lagos.

Materials And Methods: This was a prospective cohort study conducted at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital, Idi-Araba, Lagos, Nigeria.

Association between serum CA125 levels in preeclampsia and its severity among women in Lagos, South-West Nigeria.

Background: Preeclampsia is a syndrome of unknown etiology characterized by hypertension, proteinuria, and/or organ dysfunction. CA125 is an antigenic determinant recognized by the murine monoclonal antibody OC125 quantified by radioimmunoassay. Its role in obstetrics is yet to be fully understood as most clinical trials advocating its uses are widely experimental in nature and unacknowledged.

The prevalence and risk factors for infection amongst human immunodeficiency virus-infected pregnant women attending the antenatal clinics of a university teaching hospital in Lagos, South-Western, Nigeria.

Background: Trichomonas vaginalis infection is the most prevalent non-viral sexually transmitted infection worldwide. Interactions between this infection and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) may cause adverse pregnancy outcomes such as preterm labour, premature rupture of membranes, chorioamnionitis, low birth weight and post-abortal sepsis.

Aims: This study was aimed to determine the prevalence and risk factors of T.

Prevalence and risk factors for genital high-risk human papillomavirus infection among women attending the out-patient clinics of a university teaching hospital in Lagos, Nigeria.

Introduction: Cervical cancer is the second most common cancer among women in the developing countries and the seventh commonest cancer in the developed countries. Human papillomavirus (HPV) is now known to be the main factor in the aetiology of cervical cancer with over 99.7% of cases being associated with previous high risk HPV (hrHPV) infection.
