Salicylate-induced pulmonary edema.
A case of pulmonary edema secondary to salicylate intoxication is described. The pulmonary wedge pressure was normal, excluding cardiogenic pulmonary edema. Thus salicylate intoxication should be considered as a rare cause in the differential diagnosis of pulmonary edema with a normal heart size. The pulmonary edema resolved gradually over 8 days. Literature relative to salicylate-induced pulmonary edema is reviewed.
