- In Vietnam, the prevalence of vivax malaria has increased significantly over the past decade, now accounting for 50% of malaria cases, posing challenges alongside the rise of drug-resistant falciparum malaria.
- A 2-year study monitored 260 patients treated for P. vivax with chloroquine and primaquine in Quang Nam province, focusing on recurrence of the infection and risk factors.
- Results indicated that 76.78% of participants experienced recurrent vivax infections, with a median time to first recurrence of 118 days; prior P. falciparum infection was a key risk factor for reinfection.
