Figure 2From: Chloroquine efficacy studies confirm drug susceptibility of Plasmodium vivax in Chennai, IndiaClearance and recurrence plot of the infections observed in the in vivo therapeutic efficacy study. Of the 125 subjects enrolled in this study 107 completed the 28-day follow up. An absence of fever within 48 hours (Day 2) was observed for all 107 subjects completing the study. Eighty-eight (82.2%) subjects were aparasitaemic for both sexual and asexual morphological stages by Day 2 and 17 (15.9%) by Day 7 (Primary infection, red line). Two (1.9%) subjects remained positive for sexual stage parasites until a time between Day 7 and Day 14, at which point no parasites remained detectable by microscopy (Primary infection, red line). Of these 107 subjects, 17 subjects were parasite positive at a time point beyond the 28-day enrollment period, ranging from 44-148 days post-enrollment (Recurrent infection, blue line).Back to article page
