Table 2.

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.
