Title: Correlation of helminthiasis in third trimester pregnant women with hypochromic microcytic anemia in Makassar

Abstract

Background: The causes of anemia in pregnancy are multifactorial, one of which is iron deficiency. Hookworm infection is associated with decreased hemoglobin levels during pregnancy. Information about helminthiasis in Indonesia, especially in Makassar is still unknown, and its relation to the causes of hypochromic microcytic anemia.

Method: The design of this research is analytical research with a cross-sectional design. The research was conducted on third-trimester pregnant women with iron deficiency anemia who checked themselves at St. Khadijah Makassar city. Data were analyzed using the chi-square test, mann-hitney test, and roc curve analysis.

Results: In this study, it was found that 104 pregnant women were mostly of low-risk age (20-35 years) (90.38%), multigravida (67.31%), highly educated (> 9 years) (67.31%), and unemployed (84.62%). A total of 104 pregnant women were the sample of this study, 93 (89.42%) of whom had anemia (hb <11). Anemia with hypochromic microcytic features was found in 81 people (77.88%) and the incidence of helminthiasis was found in 1 person (0.98%). Worms were not significantly associated with hypochromic microcytic anemia (p > 0.05). Pregnant women with helminthiasis had lower ferritin levels than pregnant women who were not dewormed but not significantly (p > 0.05).

Conclusion: Helminthiasis in third-trimester pregnant women is not associated with hypochromic microcytic anemia.
