Stevens-Johnson syndrome associated with Malarone antimalarial prophylaxis. Clinical infectious diseases : an official publication of the Infectious Diseases Society of America, 2003, Jul-01, Volume: 37, Issue:1 To the best of our knowledge, Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) has not been reported previously as an adverse reaction to Malarone, which is a combination of atovaquone and proguanil hydrochloride used for antimalarial prophylaxis and therapy. We describe a 65-year-old patient who had SJS with typical clinical and histopathological findings associated with the use of Malarone prophylaxis for malaria. This report should alert physicians to this severe cutaneous reaction, and Malarone should be added to the list of drugs that can potentially cause SJS.
