Chronic interstitial pneumonitis with fibrosis after long-term therapy with nitrofurantoin.

S J Simonian, E J Kroeker, D P Boyd.   

Abstract

Nitrofurantoin has been used widely as a urinary antiseptic. That it may cause pulmonary infiltration, and even fibrosis, has not been recognized universally. The literature contains 24 cases of interstitial pneumonitis with fibrosis. The results of treatment are summarized, and a new case is reported in detail.
