Abstract
Dawson and Garbade1reported a case of anaphylactoid reaction to quinine in a subject who tolerated quinidine, and they noted that Giemsa and Werner2used quinidine successfully in the treatment of a patient with malaria who was unable to take quinine because of pronounced urticarial reaction to it. In the summer of 1930, I used quinidine sulphate, U. S. P., in treating thirty-nine patients who had malaria. It was administered for four successive days, each dose being given from two to four hours before the hour at which the paroxysms had been occurring. The daily dose was 10 grains (0.65 Gm.). In every case, the immediate results of even this short treatment were prompt cessation of paroxysms and, in the majority of the cases in which blood smears could be secured, at least temporary disappearance of asexual parasites from the blood. The smears were examined by Dr. W.Keywords
