Two patients with history of amiodarone-induced pulmonary reactions were accidentally treated again with amiodarone and the pulmonary complication recurred. The clinical symptoms and radiographic findings disappeared after amiodarone was discontinued and the administration of corticosteroids. Recurrent pulmonary reaction from amiodarone on different occasions is a rarely reported complication and confirms the relationship of pulmonary toxicity to chronic amiodarone administration.
