摘要
Introduction. - Nitrofurantoin is commonly used in the treatment of urinary tract infection and may cause a potential severe complication: interstitial lung diseases. Case report. - A 78-year-old and an 87-year-old woman treated with nitrofurantoin since respectively 10 months and 6 years developped cough and dyspnea. Antibiotics were ineffective and interstitial lung disease was found. Nitrofurantoin's stopping allowed a clinical and radiological improvement. Conclusion. - A good medical supervision is important when nitrofurantoine is prescribed for a long time. The treatment has to be stopped when respiratory symptoms appear to allow an improvment of the symptoms. (C) 2007 Elsevier Masson SAS.
