Migratory pulmonary infiltrates in a patient treated with sotalol

“…Firstly, the patient was taking multiple drugs. Until now, no cases of BOOP have been reported with the use of tamoxifen or acetylsalicylate, although both of these drugs may be responsible for pulmonary infiltrates with eosinophilia [12,13]. These drugs had been administered to the patient for several years without any adverse effects to the lung, and they were continued during and well after the resolution of pulmonary infiltrates.…”

“…These drugs had been administered to the patient for several years without any adverse effects to the lung, and they were continued during and well after the resolution of pulmonary infiltrates. BOOP has not been described with drugs such as hydrochlorothiazide or enalapril [12]. Hydrochlorothiazide may cause pulmonary oedema or nonspecific subacute interstitial lung disease [12].…”

“…BOOP has not been described with drugs such as hydrochlorothiazide or enalapril [12]. Hydrochlorothiazide may cause pulmonary oedema or nonspecific subacute interstitial lung disease [12]. Enalapril may be associated with cough and/or acute upper airway obstruction [12].…”

“…Hydrochlorothiazide may cause pulmonary oedema or nonspecific subacute interstitial lung disease [12]. Enalapril may be associated with cough and/or acute upper airway obstruction [12]. These two drugs were stopped in April 1993 at the time of onset of the dry cough, and this did not prevent the development of BOOP.…”

“…These two drugs were stopped in April 1993 at the time of onset of the dry cough, and this did not prevent the development of BOOP. Finally, urapidyl has not been involved in the development of BOOP or eosinophilic pneumonia [12], and in any event that drug was introduced after the onset of the cough.…”
