Is a recurrence likely?

There's a slight possibility of a recurrence.

The chances of recurrence vary from patient to patient.

For example, according to Stein, efforts are being made to prevent a recurrence of what happened during super storm Sandy: salty ocean water driven by the storm surge breached the freshwater marsh systems on the Atlantic coast, contaminating critical shore bird habitats.
