[Pulmonary damage during amiodarone therapy].
Pulmonary toxicity is a side effect associated with amiodarone therapy. Mechanism of lung injury remains speculative. Lung biopsy specimens reveal changes consistent with interstitial pneumonitis and alveolitis. Clinical picture is nonspecific. Diagnostic algorhythm for evaluation of patients receiving amiodarone together with a case report are discussed.
