Author ProfileAbstract
A 20-year-old girl 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.17 Aug 2021Submitted to Clinical Case Reports 18 Sep 2021Submission Checks Completed
