Overview

The lung is very sensitive to the possible toxic effects of various agents – either caused by direct toxicity or immunity-driven. The number of drugs with proven lung toxicity is increasing, therefore prescribing physicians should know the possible side effects affecting the lungs. The article briefly summarises cur­rent knowledge about amiodarone lung toxicity. A case report of a typical example is provided in the second part of the article.

Keywords:

amiodarone – drug-induced lung toxicity
