ABSTRACT
Mefloquine is a common anti-malarial agent used for the treatment and prophylaxis of malaria. Here we report a case of a 39-year-old, otherwise healthy woman from South Korea, who had developed visual and auditory hallucination with sleep disturbance after oral administration of mefloquine before traveling to an endemic region. To our knowledge, this would be the first reported case of mefloquine-induced psychosis in South Korea to date. This report underlines the importance of awareness and detection of neuropsychiatric side effects of mefloquine.
