  • Title: Chloroquine-induced neuromyopathy. Report of a case.
    Author: Parodi A, Regesta G, Rebora A.
    Journal: Dermatologica; 1985; 171(3):203-5. PubMed ID: 4076494.
    Abstract:
    A patient is described in whom a neuromyopathy developed during a long chloroquine treatment for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The presence of a granular deposition within the muscle fibers was observed and led to discontinuation of the drug and to a gradual recovery of muscle strength. The difficult differential diagnosis with polymyositis, steroid-induced myopathy and SLE myositis is discussed.
