title: [Pulmonary fibrosis secondary to nitrofurantoin].
abstract: Herein we report a case of pulmonary fibrosis secondary to chronic administration of nitrofurantoin following radical surgery for a bladder tumor and urinary intestinal diversion. The patient developed pulmonary superinfection and acute respiratory failure. She initially responded to treatment, but relapsed after two weeks. She died from the underlying disease.
