Pigmentary skin changes associated with ocular chloroquine toxicity in Ghana.

K O Bentsi-Enchill.   

Abstract

Several patients seen with chloroquine retinopathy in Accra have been observed to present with depigmented patches in the skin of the face. This may be associated with a greyish pigmentation of the mocusa of the hard palate. Two such cases are reported here to illustrate the condition.
