ABSTRACT

Primaquine is often administered for the hypnozoite stage of Plasmodium vivax and Plasmodium ovale. Primaquine (with clindamycin) is also an alternative drug for treatment of pneumocystis pneumonia when trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole cannot be used. Primaquine may cause methemoglobinemia, an altered state of hemoglobin in which the ferrous state of heme is oxidized to the ferric state. We report a case of methemoglobinemia caused by a standard dose of primaquine plus clindamycin in a 27-year-old female recipient of a kidney transplant who was diagnosed with pneumocystis pneumonia.

ABSTRACT

Radioactive iodine treatment (RAIT) after surgery reduces local recurrence and cancer related death. Cases of hyponatremia after preparation for RAIT have rarely been reported. We report 4 cases of hyponatremia which developed after RAIT. The cause of hyponatremia seemed to be related with over ingestion of free water which is recommended during RAIT. These cases highlighted the importance of weight adjusted water ingestion during RAIT.
