Popis: |
Amiodarone is a widely prescribed antiarrhythmic drug with a relatively high incidence of adverse effects associated with its long-term oral use. Pulmonary toxicity may manifest as organizing pneumonia, which responds well to amiodarone discontinuation and corticosteroid treatment. We present a case of an organizing pneumonia secondary to amiodarone treatment, discuss the diagnostic approach and provide tips for an accurate diagnosis based on imaging findings. A brief literature review is performed. |
