Article Synopsis
- Intermittent preventive treatment with sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine for malaria in pregnant women is crucial in Burkina Faso, but resistance to the drug needs further investigation due to insufficient data on genetic mutations.
- A study conducted from April 2019 to March 2020 analyzed placentas from postpartum women in Ouagadougou to assess genetic diversity and mutation prevalence in malaria-causing parasites.
- Findings revealed high rates of PCR-positive samples, widespread allelic families, and certain genetic mutations, indicating potential early warning signs for increasing resistance to sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine in the population.
