Ketorolac tromethamine associated with diffuse pulmonary haemorrhage: high-resolution CT findings.
Drug-induced lung diseases are a frequent cause of morbidity. Diffuse pulmonary haemorrhage is an uncommon complication of drug therapy, and is a potentially life-threatening situation. We report the high-resolution CT and clinical findings of a 32-year-old man with diffuse pulmonary haemorrhage induced by ketorolac tromethamine.
