[Fibrosing pneumopathy caused by labetalol]
Revue De Pneumologie Clinique
|January 1, 1996
Abstract:
A diffuse interstitial pulmonary fibrosis occurred in a 74-year-old woman treated for ten years with labetalol for systemic hypertension. Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) revealed lymphocytic and neutrophilic alveolitis. The lack of another etiologic factor and the spontaneously favorable course after withdrawal of the drug support the hypothesis of a labetalol induced pulmonary fibrosis.
