OBJECTIVES: To study types of @entity5294 in pregnancy and to correlate @entity15235 with haemoglobin level in antenatal @entity1 presenting in 2nd and 3rd trimester. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This prospective cross sectional hospital based study conducted at Vanivilas hospital attached to Bangalore medical college, over a period of sixmonths. Study included 500 pregnant @entity1 attending antenatal opd in 2nd and 3rd trimester, selected by systematic random sampling method. Parasitic examination and haemoglobin estimation done respectively with Stool and blood samples collected from study group. Presence of parasites was correlated with haemoglobin percentage. RESULTS: @entity15235 was found in 62 @entity1 (12.4%). All infected @entity1 had @entity281 . @entity2329 was more commonly found than hookworm (10% Vs 2.4%). @entity417 of various degrees was found in 88.7% of @entity1 with @entity15235 as compared to 56.4% @entity1 without @entity5294 (p-value <0.05). CONCLUSION: @entity15235 is a significant burden in pregnancy and it is associated with @entity417 . Hence, the policy of universal administration of anthelminthic drug in pregnancy after first trimester, as recommended by WHO should be practically enforced besides health education.
