Bone, liver, adrenals, and brain are the most frequent sites of the distant disease.

متن کاملAcute amiodarone-induced lung toxicity
The toxic effects of amiodarone on the lung are well recognised, but the rapid onset of those effects, especially in the presence of high inspired oxygen concentrations, are perhaps not adequately appreciated. This may be a potential problem in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) where amiodarone is frequently used in the treatment of tachydysrhythmias in patients with acute respiratory distress synd...
متن کاملPulmonary Actinomycosis Mimicking Lung Cancer
Herein, we reported on a case of solid type of pulmonary actinomycosis in a 10-year-old boy. He had productive cough for 40 days. Bronchoscopy was normal. Cmputed tomography revealed a solid large mass in the upper lobe of his left lung with mimicking malignant leisions. He was referred for surgery and underwent left upper lobectomy. Macroscopically, the specimen measured 13×9×5 cm and was crea...
