title: Amiodarone pneumonitis: no safe dose.
abstract: Pneumonitis is a serious adverse effect of amiodarone therapy, which is related to the average daily dose. A case of pneumonitis is described which developed after exposure to a low dose of amiodarone. This challenges the concept that low dose amiodarone therapy is safe.
