[Respiratory manifestations of carbamazepine. Apropos of a case].
A 14-year-old girl developed skin rash, fever and dyspnea. The chest roentgenogram showed diffuse reticulonodular infiltration. Pulmonary function tests revealed mild restrictive defect and blood oxygen pressure at 71 mm Hg. BAL showed increased cell counts with lymphocytosis at 15% and neutrophilia at 3%. Outcome was good after carbamazepine withdrawal and without corticosteroid therapy. Relapse was observed after patient-induced rechallenge.
