Cumulative dose retinopathy has been reported with the use of chloroquine therapy, especially seen in patients on its chronic therapy in rheumatological disorders. A rare case report on chloroquine induced idiosyncratic retinopathy while being used in treatment of Falciparum malaria is being presented. (Med J Indones 2002; 11: 176-8)
