ABSTRACT
We report the case of a 65 years old woman treated for 20 months with Amiodarone for angina who presented a picture of diffuse interstitial pneumonitis of rapid onset and of marked severity, which totally resolved once the drug was suspended and following the administration of steroid therapy. This raises the problem of the responsibility of Amiodarone in the aetiology of diffuse interstitial pneumonitis. We present 12 cases from the literature which also raise the question of the responsibility of this drug.
