What happens when you have had malaria and got treated does it come back later in life wen u have moved to australia?

It could recur: In p. Vivax and p. Ovale infections, patients having recovered from the first episode of illness may suffer several additional attacks (“relapses”) after months or even years without symptoms. Relapses occur because p. Vivax and p. Ovale have dormant liver stage parasites (“hypnozoites”) that may reactivate. Treatment to reduce the chance of such relapses is available. Talk w/ doctor for tx. Best!

No: If you were treated correctly, it should not come back, no matter where you live.
