Abstract
Abnormalities of pigmentation are a well-known side effect of antimalarial therapy. Quinidine, an antiarrhythmic agent, is structurally related to the common antimalarials but, to our knowledge, has not been associated with pigmentary abnormalities. We report a case of localized blue-gray pigmentation, clinically and histologically identical to antimalarial-induced pigmentation, in a patient receiving quinidine therapy.Entities:
