ABSTRACT

AbstractReferences

A 39-year-old patient was found to be unconscious after having taken 2.5 g of chloroquine. Treatment consisted mainly of gastric lavage and diazepam. Experimental and clinical evidence is presented to show that diazepam in varying doses significantly decreases the mortality rate.
