The University had nearly 1500 students.</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Students were asked to read a declaration of consent, in which the objectives of the study and the methods to be used for data collection were described, in agreement with the Helsinki Declaration. Only students who agreed to sign the informed consent document were considered participants and asked to fill in the questionnaire. Students who agreed to participate were asked to complete a self-administered questionnaire applied in the classes, with the consent of the teachers.</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">In March 2004, 47 of the 55 classes in the institution were systematically approached, comprising 829 students, distributed among all diurnal classes and 21 of 26 nocturnal classes. In order to shorten the period of data collection, a one week time frame was set in order to synchronize the period that responses referred to. During this time frame, absenteeism and schedule constraints accounted for the impossibility to approach all classes and all students in each class. Additionally, 32 students (3.9%) refused to participate. The above-mentioned losses and refusals accounted for the final number of 795 participants that represented approximately 50% of the total number of students in the institution.</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">The questionnaire covered sociodemographic information, number of previous malaria episodes, utilization of antimalarial drugs (including specific questions for the use of chloroquine), and life prevalence of chloroquine induced pruritus. The latter was assessed through the close-ended question: «Have you ever had intense pruritus, itching or scratching while using chloroquine?» The use of antimalarial drugs in the last malaria episode was assessed by a questionnaire where the malaria drugs were presented as answering options in the following order: chloroquine, quinine, sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine, amodiaquine, halofantrine, artemisinine/artesunate, mefloquine, lumefantrine+artemether, tetracyclines/doxycycline, clindamycin, other.</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Proportions were compared using the <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">χ</span><span class="elsevierStyleSup">2</span> test. The association of sociodemographic factors and intended use of chloroquine (prophylaxis, treatment, or both) with the occurrence of chloroquine induced pruritus, and the association between sociodemographic factors and history of chloroquine induced pruritus and the use of chloroquine in the last malaria episode, was quantified through crude and age- and ethnicity-adjusted odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (95%CI) computed by unconditional logistic regression. Data analysis was conducted with Stata<span class="elsevierStyleSup">®</span>, version 9.2.</p><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle">Results</span><p class="elsevierStylePara">Among 795 respondents the median age was 23 years (range: 18 to 51 years), 58.7% were females, and 18.4% were attending a health-related degree (pharmacy or dentistry).</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">70.7% (601/777) of the subjects had malaria at least once in their lives, from which 92.0% (553/601) described the treatment performed in the last episode. The most frequently used drugs were chloroquine (59.9%), followed by sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (24.2%), quinine (17.9%), artemisinine/artesunate (4.5%), tetracyclines/doxycycline (4.2%), halofantrine (4.0%), and mefloquine (0.9%).</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">73.2% (542/740) subjects reported to have used chloroquine before, at least once, and the prevalence of chloroquine-induced pruritus was 30.1% (158/525), more frequent in blacks (35.6% vs. 13.4%, OR=2.96, 95%CI: 1.65–5.28), and increased with age (from 22.0% in the age-group 18 to 25 years to 43.4% in those aged above 35 (OR=2.28, 95%CI: 1.38–3.78). The recall of pruritus associated with the use of chloroquine increased with the number of malaria episodes during life, from 13.8% in those with one episode to 44.4% in subjects with 5 or more episodes (OR=5.04, 95%CI: 2.49–10.20).

Chloroquine-induced pruritus was more frequent in blacks, and increased with age with the number of previous malaria episodes and with chloroquine dose. Subjects experiencing chloroquine-induced pruritus were less keen to use chloroquine again than those not recalling this adverse event.</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Although we approached students in all diurnal and most nocturnal classes and the proportion of refusals was low, information was obtained from only half the institution students. Females resulted overrepresented in our sample (58.7% vs. 50% enrolled in the university). Although women are more likely to use different types of medication,<a href="#bib10" class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">10</span></a><span class="elsevierStyleSup">,</span><a href="#bib11" class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">11</span></a> namely in this specific population,<a href="#bib12" class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">12</span></a><span class="elsevierStyleSup">,</span><a href="#bib13" class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">13</span></a> it is not expected that this could also happen with drugs used to treat acute life-threatening diseases such as malaria, and therefore we do not expect that this aspect could have biased our estimates. The population median age of 27 years in this University, as collected from University statistics, was higher than the observed in our sample. This could contribute to an underestimation of chloroquine induced pruritus prevalence, once we found it increased with age.</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">In the present methodological approach data was collected at the campus premises, leaving absent students unsampled. Therefore a sort of «healthy worker effect» could account for a selection bias as those less fit are more prone for a higher consumption of medicines and any type of adverse reaction to drugs, which would then also contribute to an underestimation of the frequency of chloroquine induced pruritus by our study, but it does not impair comparisons with studies conducted under similar conditions.</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">The specific problem of recall bias or misclassification of the main variables for this investigation should not play an important role in this study, since malaria is a well-known disease, severe enough to warrant the accurate recall of previous episodes, chloroquine has been the drug more frequently used for its treatment for a long time, and the chloroquine induced pruritus is easily recognizable and recalled by patients. Itching lasts usually for 1–3 days, and can persist for up to 7 days. It is mainly generalized, but it can also affect only specific sites, like hands, legs and feet, or perineum/genitaliae.<a href="#bib14" class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">14</span></a> The questionnaire was structured to make clear that the information regarding pruritus should refer only to «intense pruritus, itching or scratching while using chloroquine», and the results from a previous investigation in this population yielded the unexpected result of an 18% prevalence of self-reported allergy to chloroquine in black subjects,<a href="#bib15" class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">15</span></a> which may reflect the highly frequent itching produced by chloroquine in black patients and the recognition by the patients of its association with the antimalarial treatment. Regarding the accuracy of previous diagnoses of malaria, blood test for <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">Plasmodium</span> were performed in 94% of the most recent malaria episodes, and nearly half of the students had the last malaria episode diagnosed by a private doctor/clinic, as shown in a subsequent study conducted in the same population.<a href="#bib13" class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">13</span></a></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">University students do not seem to represent general Mozambican population namely due to education level attained, and social and cultural backgrounds. Moreover, the fact that our sample was drawn from a private University further limits representativeness regarding the country's university population. A previous study in this Mozambican population<a href="#bib16" class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">16</span></a> suggests that these students have a pattern of utilization of medicines similar to the observed in university students from developed countries. Such an easy access could only account for preference for newer antimalarial drugs other than chloroquine and therefore, for a lower prevalence of chloroquine induced pruritus, compared with the general population. In an investigation conducted in the same setting<a href="#bib13" class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">13</span></a> information was also obtained regarding the antimalarial treatment in the last episode, when applicable, as well as the date of the last episode. The proportion of subjects using chloroquine in the treatment of malaria was 57% when the last episode took place before 2004, and 42%, 18% and 12% in the episodes occurring respectively in 2004, 2005 and 2006. However, only one quarter of the treatments with chloroquine were done in association with other antimalarial drugs, and this proportion remained unchanged in the last years, showing that the inadequate use of chloroquine is still present in this highly educated population.</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Chloroquine induced pruritus was shown to be frequent in African subjects under chloroquine treatment, with prevalence ranging from 16% to 64%.<a href="#bib5" class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">5</span></a><span class="elsevierStyleSup">,</span><a href="#bib8" class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">8</span></a><span class="elsevierStyleSup">,</span><a href="#bib17" class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">17</span></a><span class="elsevierStyleSup">,</span><a href="#bib18" class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">18</span></a> The previous studies differ considerably in the characteristics of the populations and in the methods used, which makes a direct comparison difficult.
