We describe the case summary of a 70-year-old man diagnosed with interstitial lung disease due to prolonged nitrofurantoin therapy. Despite honeycombing confirmed by computed tomography of the thorax, symptoms and radiographic findings disappeared within 1 month after withdrawal of nitrofurantoin. The case highlights the fact that nitrofurantoin-induced lung disease may run a benign course and respond favorably despite radiographic evidence of established lung fibrosis (honey combing).
我们描述了一名70岁男性因长期服用呋喃妥因而被诊断为间质性肺病的病例摘要。尽管胸部计算机断层扫描证实存在蜂窝状改变,但在停用呋喃妥因后1个月内,症状和影像学表现均消失。该病例突出了这样一个事实,即呋喃妥因诱发的肺病可能呈良性病程,尽管影像学显示已存在肺纤维化(蜂窝状改变),但仍可能有良好的反应。
