Chloroquine-induced maculopathy may progress years after drug cessation and an apparent period of visual stability. Both doctor and patients should be fully aware of the risks of retinal toxicity, including delayed onset and progression. It is therefore crucial that regular monitoring continues in affected patients, long after the initial diagnosis of maculopathy.
氯喹引起的黄斑病变可能在停药数年以及一段明显的视力稳定期后仍会进展。医生和患者都应充分意识到视网膜毒性的风险,包括延迟发作和进展。因此,在黄斑病变初步诊断后的很长时间内,对受影响的患者持续进行定期监测至关重要。
