The objective of the study was to describe case reports of organising pneumonia in Iceland induced by the drug amiodarone.
Retrospective study where information was obtained from clinical charts from 1984-2003. Medical records, imaging studies and histopathology were re-evaluated.
Described are three case reports of organising pneumonia associated with amiodarone use in two males and one female. Diagnostic methods and treatment are described and current literature is discussed.
It is important for physicians to be aware of lung changes that amiodarone can cause and the importance of monitoring these patients.
