Chloroquine-induced bilateral ptosis.

George Bedu-Addo1.   

Abstract

This report describes a case of bilateral ptosis induced by chloroquine. Chloroquine treatment remains the most common single treatment of malaria in sub-Saharan Africa. Ptosis occurring 24 h after chloroquine therapy, with full recovery 48 h after cessation of chloroquine, has not been described previously. Documentation of adverse events for safe and commonly used drugs is important.
