Correct answer = B.
Amiodarone pulmonary toxicity most commonly presents subacutely with symptoms of dyspnea on exertion, nonproductive cough, fever, malaise, and weight loss progressing over a 2 to 3 month period. Pleuritic chest pain has only rarely been reported. DLCO is universally decreased in patients with amiodarone pulmonary toxicity;, however, the significance of an isolated decrease in DLCO is unclear and many authorities recommend continued treatment, with close observation, unless there is also a decrease in TLC. Luckily, discontinuation of amiodarone results in complete reversal of the pulmonary abnormalities in most patients. There is no clear evidence that steroids are beneficial in either treating or preventing amiodarone pulmonary toxicity.
