The cumulative risk of treatment failure according to initial species of infection
Plasmodium falciparum [95% CI] | Plasmodium vivax [95% CI] | |
---|---|---|
Early treatment failure % | 0 | 0 |
Risk of treatment failure at day 28 | 0 | 0 |
Risk of recurrence with the same species at day 42 | 4.7 [0.6–15.8] | 1.8 [0–9.7] |
Risk of recurrence by day 42—PCR adjusted | 2.3 [0.1–12.3] | –* |
CI = confidence intervals; PCR = polymerase chain reaction.
One recurrent infection with P. vivax, which had insufficient blood to genotype.
