Acute, persistent quinine-induced blindness. A case report.
Quinine-induced blindness arising during empirical treatment for malaria in a young man is reported. The condition was noteworthy because it was total and permanent, which is at variance with other published reports. The condition usually disappears within minutes to weeks, but persistent deficits tend to be mild and are rare. Although quinine is an essential anti-malarial agent, physicians should be fully aware of possible side-effects.

NT-proBNP measurements in high-risk diabetic patients--a case series from Mamelodi (Gauteng).
UNLABELLED: The prevalence of raised BNP values is unknown in South African urban black populations at risk for heart failure. This study determined the frequency of raised NT-proBNP and the correlates of NT-proBNP in a high-risk diabetic population. METHODS: A cross-sectional convenience sample of diabetic patients at the Mamelodi Hospital diabetes clinic was examined. Data on clinical, biometric, biochemical and a sixminute walk test were collected. RESULTS: Sixty patients (38 female) were examined. The frequency of elevated NT-proBNP was 22% (95% CI; 12-34%). Univariate analysis found systolic blood pressure (BP) (p = 0.007) and duration of diabetes (p = 0.005) to be predictive of an elevated NT-proBNP.
