ABSTRACT
Methemoglobinemia is an uncommon condition seen in clinical practice. It is generally cussed by exposure to drugs, chemicals or solvents. Many drugs are implicated in the causation of Methernoglobinemia one of which is chloroquine. We present here a case of Methemoglobinemia following Chloroquine which was given for the treatment of fever. The clinical presentation resembled closely to that of complicated Malaria. This case is presented with the objective of increasing awareness that uncommon illnesses can sometimes resemble closely to a very commonly seen condition and hence can be missed.
