RESUMEN
Nitrofurantoin is a common treatment for urinary tract infections. Acute lung injury resulting from nitrofurantoin is a rare, life-threatening complication with women being at greater risk. Symptoms include respiratory distress with fevers, rash, eosinophilia, and new-onset atrial fibrillation. Treatment includes discontinuing the drug and possibly glucocorticoids for persistent oxygen demand.
