Three cases of long QT-interval due to halofantrine were documented in 1992 in France. Two of them had a congenital long QT-interval (Romano-Ward syndrome). We performed a prospective study of cardiac monitoring in 20 patients taking halofantrine. Minimal ECG changes were noted with lengthening of the QT-interval. Systematic ECG is necessary before giving halofantrine.
