[Pulmonary fibrosis secondary to nitrofurantoin].
We report a case of pulmonary fibrosis from long-term furantoin therapy after 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 two weeks later. The underlying pathological condition led to the patient's death.
