Gold pulmonary toxicity in a patient with a normal chest radiograph.
We report a case of gold pulmonary toxicity in a patient with adult-onset Still's disease with dyspnea on exertion and a normal chest radiograph. Withdrawal of gold therapy resulted in complete resolution of pulmonary toxicity in our patient without the need for additional steroid therapy.
