Antimalarials for children: indications, toxicities, and guidelines.
The use of antimalarial drugs in children has been discussed extensively in the rheumatology literature, but there is scant information in the dermatology literature. We discuss indications, dosing, administration, and side effects of antimalarial drugs in children as well as skin diseases in children who have been treated with chloroquine or hydroxychloroquine.
