title: Amiodarone-induced lupus-like syndrome.
abstract: Amiodarone has been widely used in treating cardiac arrhythmias. Drug-induced lupus due to amiodarone has been rarely reported. Here, we report the rare occurrence of drug-induced lupus in a 37-year-old male shortly after the initiation of amiodarone. After cessation of drug exposure, the patient recovered completely.
