Infection with Plasmodium falciparum, if not promptly treated, may cause kidney failure, seizures, mental confusion, coma, and death. P. falciparum malaria carries a higher risk of death and serious complications in pregnant women than in the general population. Pregnant women anticipating travel to malarious areas should discuss the risks and benefits of such travel with their physicians.
