Abstract:
Bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia (BOOP) is a clinicopathological entity with well-defined diagnostic criteria, the aetiology of which is generally unknown. Among the adverse pulmonary effects of the drug amiodarone, BOOP is the least commonly reported in the literature. In this article we describe a case of amiodarone-induced BOOP.
