[Lung edema after administration of hydrochlorothiazide. A rare and life-threatening side effect].
Recurrent pulmonary oedema occurred in a 62-year-old woman after repeated intake of hydrochlorothiazide-triamterene tablets. Eight similar reports in the medical literature suggested it to be a rare case of intolerance to hydrochlorothiazide. The lymphocyte transformation test proved an allergic genesis: there was significant stimulation of patient lymphocytes by active agent/metabolite serum of hydrochlorothiazide but not triamterene.
