Abstract
Acute pulmonary illness compatible with previously described nitrofurantoin toxicity
and requiring hospitalization occurred three times among 16,101 first courses of therapy
with nitrofurantoin. One case of fatal pulmonary fibrosis was ascribed to long-term
use of nitrofurantoin among 742 observed recipients of ten or more prescriptions.
