Bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia secondary to amiodarone: a rare aetiology

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.

“…O risco de efeitos adversos é variável, dependendo da dose diária da medicação e da duração do tratamento; a dose total acumulada é mais importante que a dose diária. O mecanismo responsável pela toxicidade da droga é desconhecido.A pneumonia em organização causada por amiodarona é rara, havendo na literatura relato de oito casos (2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9) . O objetivo deste trabalho é relatar um caso com regressão acentuada após interrupção da medicação.…”
