Abstract
Introduction Nitrofurantoin is a frequently used antibiotic for treatment and prophylaxis against urinary tract infections. It is a relatively safe medication with rare side effects, however, cases of severe pulmonary injury secondary to its use have been reported. 1 We report a patient with pulmonary infiltrates with eosinophilia, pleural effusion, and interstitial lung disease induced by the chronic use of nitrofurantoin. The association of severe eosinophilic bronchopneumopathy with interstitial fibrosis makes this case rare and shows the possible deleterious effect of chronic nitrofurantoin use.
