Chloroquine and hydroxy chloroquine are widely use in Africa and all over the world as anti-malarial drugs but also in the treatment of chronic inflammatory diseases. Since the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic, Morocco have included this medication in the COVID-19 treatment guidelines in association with azithromycine. Besides dermatologic problems, ocular impairments and gastro-intestinal effects, quinolines may also cause rarely described psychiatric adverse effects. To our knowledge, there has been no reports of psychiatric side effects of chloroquine or hydroxy chloroquine in the actual context of COVID-19 pandemic. Here, we present the description of two COVID-19 patients who showed psychiatric side effects after chloroquine treatment. One patient expressed psychotic symptoms and the other one experienced acute and intense anxiety. In both cases, and according to Naranjo score, the association between chloroquine and psychiatric side effects was probable.
