motherhood is associated with increased risk of adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes.
The interaction of malaria, adolescence, and pregnancy is especially relevant in
malaria endemic areas, where rates of adolescent pregnancy are high. However, data on
burden of malaria among adolescent girls are limited. This study aimed at investigating
whether adolescent girls were at a greater risk of experiencing malaria-related outcomes in
pregnancy—parasitaemia and clinical disease—than adult women.
