Reversible blindness after erroneous prescription of closantel: A case report
Abstract
Abstract A 20‐year‐old girl was referred with vision loss upon closantel use. Plasma exchange and high‐dose corticosteroid pulse therapy were administered. A 2.5‐year follow‐up showed improved vision and increased layer thickness of the peripheral nerve fiber. Early treatment with plasma exchange and high‐dose corticosteroid therapy can be beneficial to reverse closantel toxicity.
