Quinidine-induced pigmentation.

Antimalarial agents have long been known to cause a variety of pigmentary disturbances. Quinidine, a cincha alkaloid and D-isomer of quinine, is widely used for the treatment of ventricular arrhythmias. A paucity of literature, however, exists concerning quinidine-associated hyperpigmentation. We describe a case of focal ceruloderma we believe to be secondary to quinidine therapy.
