Nitrofurantoin urinary prophylaxis was started on postoperative day 13 but coughing and mild hemoptysis began 2 days later. Diffuse infiltrates and worsening hemoptysis led to intubation and open lung biopsy. Clinical course, culture results and pathological evaluation excluded infectious etiologies and were consistent with a drug reaction. The case is described, and the literature on the nitrofurantoin pulmonary toxicity syndromes and pathophysiology is reviewed. © 1994 by The American Urological Association Education and Research, Inc.FiguresReferencesRelatedDetails Volume 152Issue 3September 1994Page: 938-940 Advertisement Copyright & Permissions© 1994 by The American Urological Association Education and Research, Inc.Keywordslungnitrofurantoinkidney transplantationhemoptysisMetricsAuthor Information Mary M.
