Summary:The lungs are frequently the site of adverse drug reactions because of their higher oxygen concentration, the distinctive properties of the pulmonary circulation, and the close proximity of the alveolar epithelium to the blood. Amiodarone, an iodinated benzofuran derivative, is an effective antiarrhythmic drug commonly used for refractory tachyarrhythmia. However, it has a wide range of adverse effects, the most serious of which is lung disease. Most patients present with the insidious onset of dyspnea and a nonproductive cough, and generally recover after withdrawing the drug. We recently experienced four fatal cases of amiodarone pulmonary toxicity. Therefore, we discuss these unusual drug-induced pulmonary toxicity cases with a review of the relevant literature. Amiodarone 폐독성은 약제 복용력이 있는 환자에서 새로운 증상과 X-선의 변화가 있을 때 의심하여야 하며 울혈성 심부전이나 폐감염증, 폐색전증, 악성종양 등과 감별하는 것이 중요하다. 진단은 임상적, 방사선학적, 조직학적 소견을 종합하여 내릴 수 있으며 대부분의 경우에는 약제 중단을 통해서 폐독성의 호전을 기대할 수 있으나 일부에서는 호흡부전으로 진행하거나 기존의 심부정맥의 재발 등으로 인하여 사망하는 경우도 있다. 저자들은 심부정맥으로 amiodarone을 사용하던 환자에서 치명적인 폐독성이 발생한 4예를 경험하였기에 이를 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.
