ABSTRACT

Las tiazidas son fármacos frecuentemente usados en la terapia de la hipertensión arterial. Las reacciones adversas de riesgo vital como shock y edema pulmonar agudo son raros. Comunicamos el caso de una mujer de 55 años de edad atendida en Hospital de Puerto Montt, quien tras dos horas de ingerir hidroclorotiazida presentó disnea. Los exámenes de laboratorio generales e imágenes muestran cuadro concordante con edema pulmonar agudo no cardiogénico. Además de la suspensión del fármaco, se realizó soporte hemodinámico y ventilatorio no invasivo, evidenciándose resolución del cuadro a las 48 h. La paciente fue dada de alta 3 días después de su ingreso sin sintomatología.


Thiazides are drugs often used in management of high arterial blood pressure. Shock and acute pulmonary edema are rarely described as adverse reactions related to this drug. We report the case of a 55 years-old woman admitted at Hospital de Puerto Montt, Chile. Two hours after having her first dose of hydrochlorothiazide she presented dyspnea. Laboratory tests and images support the diagnosis of non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema. Resolution of her clinical picture was observed 48 hours after hydrochlorothiazide administration was discontinued and hemodynamic and non invasive ventilation support were supplied. The patient was discharged without symptoms, 3 days after entering to hospital.
