Histopathology of Chloroquine Retinal Toxicity

“…7 Recently, numerous reports have appeared in the literature describing the signs and symptoms of chloroquine ocular toxicity. [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] Formerly, the ocular side effects were considered transient and reversible. 5,19 It is now recognized that chronic administration of chloroquine may induce a retinopathy and visual loss which is not reversible.…”

Retinal Damage in Chloroquine Therapy

“…They described oedema and pigmentation in the macula, narrow fundus vessels and atrophy of the optic papilla, involving impaired vision and deficient field of vision. Later, several cases at different stages have been published (Ellsworth & Zeller (1961), Smith (1 962), Ormrod (1 9659, Jansson (1 962), O h m , Gouras, Bernstein & Sallman (1963)).…”
