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.
