dc.description.abstract | Background: Artemether/lumefantrine (AL), sold under the brand name Coartem, is the most common artemisininbased combination therapy for the treatment of malaria. Drug-induced oculogyric crisis is a neurological disorder characterized by frequent upward deviations of the eye. In the literature, no cases of Coartem-induced oculogyric crisis have been reported in Ghana. Case presentation: A 19-year-old male patient, who presented fever measuring 37.9 degrees C, general body pains, and weakness was prescribed with antimalarial therapy artemether/lumefantrine, Coartem (R), from a local pharmacy. Just after initiation of treatment, the patient complained of double vision, involuntary upward eye deviation, and inability to close both eyes. The patient was diagnosed with Coartem-induced oculogyric crisis and was treated with the cessation of the causing agent and intramuscular injection of promethazine hydrochloride. Conclusions: When a patient exhibits a neurological disorder, such as oculogyric crisis, with normal conscious state and normal vital signs, special attention should be given to obtaining a history of recently administered medications. Clinicians should recognize adverse reactions to drugs based on a thorough patient history and examination. The goal of this report was to present Coartem-induced oculogyric crisis. | - |
