Secondary objectives included the prevalence of HCV Ribonucleic

Low-risk populations were examined in 31 studies involving a
total of 168,151 subjects, of whom 8330 were positive for HCV
antibodies. Six studies included a total of 1484 high-risk
persons, and 96 had antibodies to HCV. The pooled seroprevalence

4.75% (95% CI: 1.79-8.94) in high-risk groups. A
non-significant decreasing trend was observed over the study

individuals at low risk for HCV infection, and 81 were positive.
The meta-analysis of HCV RNA yielded a pooled prevalence of
1.65% (95% CI: 0.74-2.89%) in low-risk populations, which is
assumed to be indicative of HCV prevalence in the general
population of Burkina Faso and suggests that about 301,174
people are active HCV carriers in the country. Genotypes 2 and 1
were the most frequent, with 60.3% and 25.0%, respectively.
CONCLUSIONS: HCV seroprevalence is intermediate in Burkina Faso
and indicates the need to implement effective control
strategies. There is a paucity of data at the national level and
for rural and high-risk populations. General population
screening and linkage to care are recommended, with special
attention to rural and high-risk populations.},

abstract = {BACKGROUND: Malaria in endemic countries is often asymptomatic
during pregnancy, but it has substantial consequences for both
the mother and her unborn baby. During pregnancy, anaemia is an
important consequence of malaria infection. In Burkina Faso, the
intensity of malaria varies according to the season, albeit the
prevalence of malaria and anaemia as well as their risk factors,
during high and low malaria transmission seasons is
underexplored at the household level. METHODS: Data of 1751
pregnant women from October 2013 to March 2014 and 1931 pregnant
women from April 2017 to June 2017 were drawn from two
cross-sectional household surveys conducted in 24 health
districts of Burkina Faso. Pregnant women were tested for
malaria in their household after consenting. Asymptomatic
carriage was defined as a positive result from malaria rapid
diagnostic tests in the absence of clinical symptoms of malaria.
Anaemia was defined as haemoglobin level less than 11 g/dL in
the first and third trimester and less than 10.5 g/dL in the
second trimester of pregnancy. RESULTS: Prevalence of
asymptomatic malaria in pregnancy was estimated at 23.9% (95%
CI 20.2-28.0) during the high transmission season
(October-November) in 2013. During the low transmission season,
it was 12.7% (95% CI 10.9-14.7) between December and March in
2013-2014 and halved (6.4%; 95% CI 5.3-7.6) between April and
June 2017. Anaemia prevalence was estimated at 59.4% (95% CI
54.8-63.8) during the high transmission season in 2013. During
the low transmission season, it was 50.6% (95% CI 47.7-53.4)
between December and March 2013-2014 and 65.0% (95% CI
62.8-67.2) between April and June, 2017. CONCLUSION: This study
revealed that the prevalence of malaria asymptomatic carriage
and anaemia among pregnant women at the community level remain
high throughout the year. Thus, more efforts are needed to
increase prevention measures such as IPTp-SP coverage in order
to reduce anaemia and contribute to preventing low birth weight
