Malaria and invasive bacterial infection (IBI) adversely affects the prognosis of pregnant women, globally. However, in sub-Saharan Africa, data on IBI and malaria co-infection among pregnant women is scarce, rather most studies look at Malaria and Invasive bacterial infection dis-jointly. Objectives: We aimed to study the burden of Invasive bacterial and malaria co- infection and associated factors among pregnant mothers attending a private hospital in rural South-Western Uganda. Methods: A cross-sectional study involving retrospective review of records was carried out. The records about pregnant women attending ante-natal clinic at Kampala International University teaching hospital were collected from February 2014 to February 2018.Waiver of consent was thought from relevant Ethical committees. Checklists were used to capture relevant data and data analysis was done using STATA version 14.2. Descriptive statistics, binary crude and adjusted logistic regression were carried out.
