Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" id="ccr3238-abs-0001"> <title>Key Clinical Message</title> <p>Susceptibility to quinoline antimalarial intoxication may reflect individual genetic and drug‐induced variation in neuropharmacokinetics. In this report, we describe a case of chloroquine intoxication that appeared to be prolonged by subsequent use of multiple psychotropic medications. This case highlights important new considerations for the management of quinoline antimalarial intoxication.</p> </abstract>
