hi found this answer on netdoctor. the answer is yes malaria can return. cerebral malaria has a very high mortality rate (about 20%) and it is usually caused by the plasmodium falciparum type of malaria. benign malaria has a very low mortality and is caused by the three other types of plasmodium protozoan which are transmitted via anopheles mosquito bites. the incubation period for these is longer than with falciparum; in 5-10% of cases the malaria presents more than a year after infection. the initial symptoms of acute illness may be 'flu-like' with some or all of the following symtoms: sudden coldness headache muscle pains high fever flushing vomiting and drenching sweats. any of the four types of malaria may produce a similar illness initially. relapse occurs as parasites may lie dormant in the liver for very long intervals. if you have the slightest suspicion that you are having a relapse you must alert your doctor to your past medical history so that you can be tested as a matter of some urgency. yours sincerely the netdoctor medical team read more: <link>#ixzz2y1ndzwpb follow us: @netdoctor on twitter | netdoctoruk on facebook hope this helps. good luck
can maleria symptoms reoccur. i contracted two bouts of malaria whilst working in africa in 2011. since then i have noticed similar signs and symptoms reoccur around every three months is it possible that this is a reoccurrence of malaria at some level. i have been told that this is not possible however i am not convinced.
