According to the Ministry of Health's guidelines for diagnosis and treatment, the recurrence of malaria needs to be specifically and accurately identified in order to have appropriate intervention measures. In addition, it is necessary to distinguish recurrent malaria from other diseases so that patients can rest assured to complete the treatment regimen prescribed by the doctor.

In fact, there are cases where patients have a fever again after being treated for malaria at medical facilities and discharged home. The cause of malaria recurrence often stems from treatment not following the prescribed principles.
