Relapses of Plasmodium vivax infection usually result from activation of heterologous hypnozoites. [PDF]
, 2007 BACKGROUND: Relapses originating from hypnozoites are characteristic of Plasmodium vivax infections. Thus, reappearance of parasitemia after treatment can result from relapse, recrudescence, or reinfection.

Retinal Hemorrhage in Plasmodium vivax Malaria [PDF]
The American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2010 Retinal hemorrhage is a frequently observed sign in Plasmodium falciparum infection. In Plasmodium vivax infection, however, retinal hemorrhage is very rare; only five cases have been reported in the literature. In this case report, we review the literature and the case of 52-year-old man who had retinal hemorrhages in P. vivax infection.
