29. RELAPSE
• The recurrence of asexual parasitaemia in P.vivax and P.ovale
malaria deriving from persistent liver stages
• Relapse occurs when blood stage infection has been eliminated but
hypnozoites persistent in liver and mature to hepatic schizonts
• After variable intervals of weeks to months the hepatic schizonts
burst and liberate merozoites into blood stream
