Primaquine for radical cure of Plasmodium vivax and Plasmodium ovale malaria: an observational survey (2008-2010).

Abstract

Since 2008, the French guidelines have promoted the systematic use of 30 mg/day of primaquine for the radical cure of Plasmodium vivax and Plamodium ovale infections. We observed three relapses in 10 patients with P vivax acquired in French Guiana. No relapses were seen in West African P ovale patients.
