ABSTRACT
This topic focus on the evaluation of the effects of malaria on pregnant women attending antenatal clinic at abia state university teaching hospital, aba abia state 
 Malaria in pregnancy (MIP) is a major public health problem in endemic countries. There is a wealth of evidence showing that the risk of malaria (both infection and clinical disease) is higher risk of malaria, this review provides an update on knowledge acquired since 2000 on P. falciparum and P. vivax  infections in pregnancy. Material risk factors for malaria in pregnancy (MIP) include low maternal age, low parity, and low gestational age. The main effects of malaria in pregnancy (MIP) include maternal anaemia, low birth weight (LBW), preterm delivery and increased infant and maternal mortality.
