Abstract

Abstract A narcotics addict, suspected of receiving an overdose of heroin, was found to have died from an overdose of chloroquine. Heroin and several tranquilizers were suspected materials but no drugs other than chloroquine were found in the blood or urine. Addicts in the Bakersfield area had received chloroquine because of a malaria outbreak and many tablets had been distributed among the population. How this person received the overdose was not determined. The blood contained 0.9 mg chloroquine diphosphate per 100 ml.
