Abstract

Exclusive breastfeeding would reduce susceptibility to malaria according to several studies. The objective of this study was to assess Plasmodium falciparum (P. falciparum) parasitaemia in children under 6 months exclusively breastfed in southern Benin. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in 2014 from February to August. We randomly selected 106 exclusively breastfed children aged from 0 to 6 months in the Ouidah-Kpomasse-Tori-Bossito health region (OKT) in southern Benin. 24 h recall method was used to identify exclusively breastfed children. Plasmodium was detected by a thick drop, blood smear and a real time quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (qPCR). The children average age was 2.2 months. The sex ratio (M/F) was 1. The prevalence of P. falciparum malaria was 0.9%. One child had fever and positive parasitaemia with gametocytes confirmed by qPCR at 27 Cycle threshold (Ct). This child was 4.2 months old and slept under mosquito bed net. There was no asymptomatic parasitaemia among all the children. The prevalence of P. falciparum parasitaemia in exclusively breastfed children, that was lower than the average prevalence in southern Benin, the practice of breastfeeding should be encouraged and strengthened. Future studies with objective measure of breast milk could help to better classify exclusive breastfeeding.
贝宁Ouidah kpomass - tori - bossito卫生区0-6个月纯母乳喂养儿童恶性疟原虫寄生虫病患病率
根据几项研究,纯母乳喂养将减少对疟疾的易感性。本研究的目的是评估贝宁南部纯母乳喂养的6个月以下儿童的恶性疟原虫(恶性疟原虫)寄生虫病。描述性横断面研究于2014年2月至8月进行。我们在贝宁南部的Ouidah-Kpomasse-Tori-Bossito卫生区(OKT)随机选择106名0 - 6个月的纯母乳喂养儿童,采用24 h回忆法对纯母乳喂养儿童进行识别。采用浓滴法、血涂片法和实时定量pcr法检测疟原虫。这些孩子的平均年龄为2.2个月。性别比(M/F)为1。恶性疟原虫疟疾患病率为0.9%。1例患儿发热,寄生虫血症阳性,27周期阈值qPCR证实配子体阳性。这个孩子4.2个月大,睡在蚊帐里。所有患儿均无无症状寄生虫病。纯母乳喂养儿童中恶性疟原虫的流行率低于贝宁南部的平均流行率,因此应鼓励和加强母乳喂养的做法。未来对母乳进行客观测量的研究可以帮助更好地对纯母乳喂养进行分类。
