Hello
Due to prolong period and injudicious the malaria ( plasmodium vivax ) has developed resistance .
So lumerax and QST will not work at all . Lumerax is acting against only falciparum form .
When such resistant case visit my clinic I prescribe as following treatment .
1ST day Chloroquine 600 mg followed by 300 mg after 6 hour.
300 mg on day 2 & 3 .
Prophylaxis 300 mg once weekly starting first week before exposure , continuing throughout on a weekly basis & for at least 4 week after exposure .
Concomitantly TABLET "PRIMAQUINE 15 mg daily for 14 days .
But in your case you can increase the dosage of primaquine 30 mg daily for 14 days .
This is a complicated treatment and should be taken under strict medical supervision , so consult a physician and get his opinion.
As plenty of intravenous fluid required during this period.
Hope this will help you.
Also get in ultrasound of spleen for enlargement.
