Ancylostomaduodenale and Ascarislumbricoides Mixed Infection in Pregnant Woman in Maharashtra

Abstract

Background: More susceptible helminthic infection decreases immunodeficiency in pregnancy and may pose a serious threat to health and sometimes fatal to the new-born baby also. Ancylostomaduodenale and Ascarislumbricoides are categorized as soil-transmitted helminths. These helminths lead to greater impairment of mental and physical development, mainly in developing nations. Due to the shortage of qualified staff and suitable technology, these infections remain hidden and asymptomatic.Furthermore, sporadic shedding of eggs or larvae makes it tough to diagnose. There is, therefore, a desperate necessity of fast and precise tests to diagnose soil-transmitted helminths. Microscopy and molecular approaches are included in the diagnostic methods.In countries where faeces are used as fertiliser and in the absence of sewage systems, these parasites are commonly observed, especially in tropical and subtropical areas.Case Presentation: A woman was enrolled in field survey DMIMS, Sawangi in July, 2017. The community-based field survey was held within four villages of district Wardha. A 22-year-old pregnant woman had a lot of complaints and history also. Symptoms correlated with electrolyte imbalance was seen. For detection purpose, microscopy and qPCR has been used in the case. Conclusion: The purpose of this study is to find out the reasons why pregnant women are more likely to get sick and to investigate the hygiene conditions in houses and evaluate the demographic feature. Throughout childhood to adulthood, a pregnant woman was malnourished. It is assumed from a study that the effect of under-nutrition may persist throughout life. A molecular technique like q PCR gives the most accurate results for infection.
