Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Cornell University Medical College. New York, New York.

Two recent cases of malaria during pregnancy are presented and their diagnosis and management detailed. The literature regarding this problem is reviewed and the subjects of malaria immunity, pregnancy wastage, congenital malaria and the teratogenicity and toxicity of the antimalarial agents are discussed. It is found advisable to treat pregnant patients who are visiting areas where malaria is endemic prophylactically with chloroquine phosphate, 500 mg orally once a week, starting before entering the endemic area and continuing the treatment until 6 weeks postpartum.
