Clinical or biochemical RRs ranged from 5 to 17 per 100 person-years after remission of PCT. Relapses were somewhat more frequent after remission with 4-aminoquinoline regimens than after remission following phlebotomy. Prospective studies are needed to define better how often relapses occur with these treatments after documenting both clinical and biochemical remission of PCT.
