    Area of Science:

    • Toxicology
    • Emergency Medicine
    • Pharmacology

    Background:

    • Chloroquine phosphate overdose is a critical medical condition with high mortality rates.
    • Ingestion exceeding 3 gm of chloroquine phosphate can be fatal within 2 hours for adults.

    Observation:

    • A 49-year-old female ingested a life-threatening dose of 19.5 gm of chloroquine phosphate.
    • The patient rapidly developed severe gastrointestinal, central nervous system, respiratory, and cardiovascular symptoms.

    Findings:

    • Aggressive and prompt medical interventions, including emesis, gastric lavage, and activated charcoal, were administered.
    • The patient received intensive treatment for hypotension and respiratory distress.

    Implications:

  • Rapid and comprehensive emergency treatment can facilitate recovery from massive chloroquine phosphate overdose.
  • This case highlights the critical importance of immediate medical attention in acute chloroquine poisoning.
