Association With Congenital Renal Failure

André Dupré, MD; Jean-Paul Ortonne, MD; Roland Viraben, MD; Frédéric Arfeux, MD

Arch Dermatol. 1985;121(9):1164-1166.

Abstract
• Hypopigmentation of hair and freckles occurred in a patient receiving chloroquine sulfate therapy. This patient had a severe congenital renal failure that presumably increased plasma and tissue levels of the drug substantially, accounting for the hypopigmentation.
