A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of the Prevalence of Triplex Infections (Combined Human Immunodeficiency Virus, Hepatitis B Virus, and Hepatitis C Virus) among Pregnant Women in Nigeria.
Obstet Gynecol Int
July 2023
Objective: We systematically identified the prevalence of triplex infections (combined human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), and hepatitis C virus (HCV)) in pregnancy.
Methods: To gather information on the frequency of triplex infections, we searched the databases of PubMed, CINAHL, and Google Scholar. Without regard to language, we utilized search terms that covered HIV, HBV, HCV, and pregnancy.
Background: Postpartum hemorrhage remains a challenge in obstetric practice in developing climes and contributes immensely to the horrendous figures of maternal mortality worldwide.
Aim: The aim was to compare the effect of intravenous (IV) carbetocin on uterine tone under different anesthetic techniques for elective cesarean section.
Methods: Four hundred and seventy-eight consecutive women scheduled for elective cesarean section were recruited into two groups by convenience.
Article Synopsis
- A study conducted at the University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital revealed that many blood units crossed-matched for Caesarean sections in Nigeria go unused, contributing to high blood wastage and costs.* -
- The efficiency of blood usage was assessed using metrics like the cross-match to transfusion (C/T) ratio, which indicated poor utilization with a C/T ratio of 3.1 and over 68% of blood wasted.* -
- The study recommends implementing a Maximal Surgical Blood Order Schedule (MSBOS) to better estimate blood needs for Caesarean sections, along with tailored blood grouping practices based on patient risk levels.*
Mother-to-child transmission of human immunodeficiency virus, hepatitis B virus and hepatitis C virus among pregnant women with single, dual or triplex infections of human immunodeficiency virus, hepatitis B virus and hepatitis C virus in Nigeria: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
SAGE Open Med
April 2022
To systematically review literature and identify mother-to-child transmission rates of human immunodeficiency virus, hepatitis B virus, and hepatitis C virus among pregnant women with single, dual, or triplex infections of human immunodeficiency virus, hepatitis B virus, and hepatitis C virus in Nigeria. PRISMA guidelines were employed. Searches were on 19 February 2021 in PubMed, Google Scholar and CINAHL on studies published from 1 February 2001 to 31 January 2021 using keywords: "MTCT," "dual infection," "triplex infection," "HIV," "HBV," and "HCV.

Methods: This was a cross-sectional study among pregnant women attending antenatal care in six tertiary hospitals across all the geopolitical zones of Nigeria. Pregnant women who consented to the study completed screening questions about their hepatitis B vaccination status and coverage.
Background: There are no national data on hepatitis C virus awareness and burden among pregnant women to justify its routine screening.
Objectives: To investigate awareness, seroprevalence and risk factors for hepatitis C virus infection among pregnant women in Nigeria.
Methods: A total of 159 pregnant women from antenatal clinics across six geopolitical zones in Nigeria consented to anti-hepatitis C virus testing which was confirmed using polymerase chain reaction technique.
Prevalence, seroconversion and mother-to-child transmission of dual and triplex infections of HIV, hepatitis B and C viruses among pregnant women in Nigeria: study protocol.

September 2020
Background: Nigeria contributes significantly to the global burden of HIV, Hepatitis B and C infections, either singly or in combinations, despite progress in HIV care regionally and globally. Although some limited data on mono infection of HIV, Hepatitis B and C virus infections do exists, that of dual and triplex infections, including seroconversion and mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) rates necessary for planning to address the scourge of infections in pregnancy are not available.
Objectives: To determine the seroprevalence, rate of new infections, MTCT of dual and triple infections of HIV, Hepatitis B and C viruses and associated factors, among pregnant women in Nigeria.
Objective: To determine the prevalence of abnormal cervical smears and high-grade lesions among HIV-positive and HIV-negative women, and to assess the relationship between severity of disease and CD4 count.
Methods: In a prospective cross-sectional comparative study, 250 HIV-positive and 250 HIV-negative women attending the University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital, Port Harcourt, Nigeria, were enrolled between January and March 2012. Cervical smear samples were collected from participants, examined, and reported via the Bethesda system.
