Abstract
Two cases of hypokalemia which was deep (1,1 mmol/l), symptomatic and protracted were observed during the early course of acute massive chloroquine intoxication. Biochemical data suggest that the mechanism of hypokalemia in such cases is intracellular transport.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
