Abstract
Bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia (BOOP) is a clinicopatho logical entity with well-defined diagnostic criteria, the aetiology of which is generally unknown. Among the adverse pulmonary effects of th e drug amiodarone, BOOB is the least commonly reported in the literatu re. In this article we describe a case of amiodarone-induced BOOP.
