The figures given for PCR-corrected treatment failure with AS/SP do not seem to be consistent in the Abstract and in the Results sections. This needs to be clarified.

ABSTRACT:"However, when PCR-corrected, 6.5% (5/77) of patients treated with AS/SP maintained parasites from their primary infection."

RESULTS: "In the AS/SP group, five patients (41.7 %) showed different allelic forms and were classified as reinfection, while seven (58.3) retained the same allelic pattern and were classified as recrudescence of parasites."
