ABSTRACT
A Sri Lankan female developed the typical signs and symptoms of malaria one month after her arrival in Kuwait. She was treated twice with chloroquine [25 mg/kg body weight] for five days followed by radical treatment with chloroquine and primaquine weekly for eight weeks. A true relapse with Plasmodium vivax was observed after these treatments. This shows an apparent case of chloroquine resistance in Plasmodium vivax malaria detected in Kuwait in a Sri Lankan lady who had contracted the disease in her home country
