Plasmodium Vivax Malaria

Vivax malaria relapses frequently even in low-transmission settings. Chloroquine delays but does not prevent recurrences. Adding primaquine to a slowly eliminated schizonticide significantly reduces recurrences and improves hematocrit, but this advantage is offset by hemolysis in G6PD-deficient females.
