Abstract
The successful management of a case of quinine overdose with blindness is described. From a review of the literature, treatment of moderate poisoning with ingestion of < 10 g of quinine should consist of immediate and thorough gastric lavage, forced acid diuresis, immediate bilateral stellate ganglion blockage repeated if there is clinical improvement in vision. With a larger overdose or when coma or convulsions occur haemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis or preferably haemoperfusion should be considered.
