Noncardiogenic pulmonary edema induced by hydrochlorothiazide.
We report the case of a 74-year-old woman with pulmonary edema induced by hydrochlorothiazide. We missed the diagnosis in the first episode, and it was only upon unintentional hydrochlorothiazide rechallenge that we correctly identified the cause of the pulmonary edema.
