Traditional medicine consumption in postpartum for HBV-infected women enrolled in the ANRS 12345 TA PROHM study in Cambodia.

In Cambodia, traditional medicine was commonly described as being used by pregnant women at two time points: one month before birth and during early postpartum. The present study aims to describe traditional medicine consumption during postpartum phase for women enrolled in the TA PROHM study and to investigate the possible association between traditional medicine consumption and acute liver toxicity. An ethnobotanical survey was conducted in 2 groups of HBV-infected pregnant women (with and without postpartum hepatocellular injury) enrolled in the study.

In-field Evaluation of SD Bioline HBsAg Whole Blood Rapid Test in Pregnant Women in Cambodia: the ANRS 12345 TA PROHM Study.

The objective is to assess the in-field performance of HBsAg whole blood rapid diagnosis test (RDT) as compared to plasmatic HBsAg RDT to diagnose HBV infection among pregnant women in Cambodia. Blood was collected on EDTA tubes from pregnant woman screened for the TA PROHM - ANRS 12345 study. Whole blood HBsAg RDT results were crossed compared with the plasmatic HBsAg RDT results, which was defined for this study as the gold standard.
