Eur J Intern Med. 2002 Feb;13(1):75-76. doi: 10.1016/s0953-6205(01)00195-9.

Abstract

Chloroquine is widely used for antimalarial prophylaxis. We report the first case of delayed hypersensitivity syndrome associated with fever, digestive symptoms, bullous eruption, and eosinophilia due to chloroquine as proven by drug history and a positive patch-test for chloroquine.
