Abstract
We present here a patient with end stage renal failure who received two weeks antimalarial prophylaxis at full dose leading to life threatening toxicity with severe acute megaloblastic anaemia, symptomatic pancytopenia and exfoliative dermatitis. Prompt recognition and treatment can rapidly reverse these fatal effects but more importantly, education of patients before travel is imperative in preventing such events.Entities:
