Discontinuation of hydroxychloroquine due to suspected retinal toxicity in systemic lupus erythematosus and the role of multimodal imaging
Hydroxychloroquine is effective in controlling disease activity and preventing damage in SLE, and the opportunity for remedication is valuable. More than half of the patients who could restart HCQ after reexamination show the importance of performing multimodal imaging to diagnose retinal toxicity and to distinguish macular pathologies with different aetiological background.
