- W2061353670 abstract "The recommended dosage of mefloquine to treat Plasmodium falciparum infection is 25 mg/kg, with no recommendation for dosage exceeding 1500 mg. We describe an original case of adverse reaction to mefloquine in an overweight patient.Case report.A 32-year-old woman weighing 139 kg presented with uncomplicated P. falciparum infection after returning from Cameroon. She received 3250 mg of mefloquine (i.e. 23 mg/kg) administered in four doses. On day 2, she developed neuropsychiatric disorders and facial lesions. Nasal mucocutaneous vesicles and bullae, depressive mood, mild thrombocytopenia and hepatic cytolysis were evidenced. Parasitemia was negative. Recovery was complete on day 17. High mefloquine serum levels were measured (8.030 mg/L on day 3, 6.880 mg/L on day 8, and 3.370 mg/L on day 17).The causal relationship between mefloquine and the occurrence of these adverse effects is probable. However, as no viral or bacteriological investigations were performed, the drug responsibility remains uncertain. Mefloquine-induced bullous and facial lesions reversible upon drug withdrawal have already been described. The associated neuropsychiatric symptoms were strongly suggestive of mefloquine adverse effects, as such events are more frequently observed in cases of overdosage. Our case emphasizes the difficulties of dosage adaptation in overweight patients." @default.
