Abstract

Quinine has been reported to cause acute kidney injury by various mechanisms. The response to quinine can result in a spectrum of problems ranging from isolated thrombocytopenia to thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) to disseminated intravascular coagulation. Quinine has also been reported to cause acute interstitial nephritis (AIN). We report an unusual presentation where both of these entities of renal-limited TMA and AIN were precipitated by a single dose of quinine.
