Background and Objectives There is paucity of data as regards malaria parasitaemia amongst parturients in the north western part of Nigeria. The objectives of this study were to determine the prevalence of asymptomatic maternal malaria parasitaemia at delivery, the prevalence of umbilical and placental malaria parasitaemia, to determine the packed cell volume (PCV) of the study group and also to determine the effect of parasitaemia at delivery on birth weight and placental weight. Subjects and Method Two hundred parturients who satisfied the criteria for inclusion into the study were recruited between 1st July, 2009 and 31st September, 2009. Blood samples were collected from each parturient by finger prick and from the umbilical cord and placentas. Thin and thick blood smears were prepared on glass slide and read under microscope for malaria parasite while packed cell volumes was determined by the micro centrifuge technique. All placentae were weighed on table top Beam weighing scale together with the membranes and the cord after removing obvious blood clots to verify completeness shortly after delivery. The weights of the newborn babies were recorded to the nearest gram immediately after delivery using the same table top Beam weighing scale.
