[Amiodarone-induced pneumonia]
Abstract:
A case of cordarone-induced pneumopathy in a man is reported diagnosed one year after the appearance of its first symptoms. Withdrawal of cordarone and prescription of glucocorticoid therapy resulted in positive dynamics of the patient's condition. Differential diagnostics of this rather common pathology sometimes encounters difficulties. Demonstration of this complication of anti-arrhythmic therapy illustrates the importance of careful analysis of the current and past medical history of a patient with special reference to the drugs used for the treatment.
