Article Synopsis
- - The study examines the health and demographic characteristics of migrants who arrived in the Canary Islands via small boats from 2020 to 2022, highlighting significant health issues due to their journey.
- - Of the 193 patients, many suffered from acute patera syndrome (APS) and skin and soft tissue or musculoskeletal patera syndrome (SSTMSPS), with dehydration being the most common issue; most patients were young males from West Africa.
- - Findings indicate that timely identification of patera syndrome can lead to better treatment outcomes, emphasizing the importance of understanding the specific health challenges faced by these migrants.
Background: Plasmodium falciparum infection in pregnant women in sub-Saharan Africa is often asymptomatic. As these forms of malaria are often submicroscopic and difficult to diagnose by conventional methods (microscopy and/or rapid diagnostic test), diagnosis requires the use of molecular techniques such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR). This study analyses the prevalence of subclinical malaria and its association with adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes, a topic that has been scarcely evaluated in the literature.

HIV-positive pregnant women are at increased risk for all adverse outcomes of malaria during pregnancy. The main objective was to analyse the obstetric and perinatal consequences of malaria, HIV infection and HIV/malaria co-infection in pregnant women and newborns, which has been less well evaluated.

One difference is the epidemiological profile; the disease mainly affects a subgroup of MSM (men who have sex with men) with high-risk sexual behaviors, frequently persons living with human immunodeficiency virus (PLHIV).
Methods: In this observational analysis, all patients with PCR (polymerase chain reaction)-confirmed MPX attending an Infectious Diseases and Tropical Medicine Unit in Gran Canaria (Spain) between May and July 2022 were considered.
