Asymptomatic cavitary pneumonitis due to amiodarone pulmonary toxicity.

A 52-year-old woman presented with ventricular tachycardia after receiving amiodarone for the previous 18 months. The chest roentgenogram revealed evidence of multiple pleural-based cavitary nodules despite the absence of respiratory disease on clinical examination. The nodules were attributed to amiodarone because of histologic changes noted at open-lung biopsy. The cavitating nodules cleared with the discontinuation of amiodarone.

Bronchiectasis following pulmonary ammonia burn.

Long-term follow-up of the pulmonary lesions of severe exposure to ammonia in humans has seldom been documented, and development of bronchiectasis continues to be of concern. We studied a previously healthy 30-year-old woman whose lungs at time of necropsy, three years after massive exposure to ammonia fumes, had extensive cylindrical and saccular bronchiectasis. We concluded that massive exposure to ammonia can lead to bronchiectasis. It is not known, however, whether the bronchiectasis resulted from chemical injury by ammonia or from a superimposed bacterial bronchitis.
