Markers of neutrophil activation and some immune and haematological indices in malaria infection during pregnancy

Malaria infection led to alterations in immune and haematological parameters in this group, with mild and moderate malaria parasitaemia in the study cohort. Although there were some significant differences, the assessed values remained mostly within the normal range. Further studies in a larger cohort assessing pregnant women infected with placental malaria and those with fatal outcomes are important to further investigate the role of NETs in malaria infection.
