A 74-year-old woman presented with a 2-day history of cough, dyspnea and wheezing following aspiration of a tetracycline tablet. She developed a left lower lobe pneumonitis, and bronchoscopy revealed left main bronchus narrowing and exudate. The course of this patient is discussed in reference to the available literature on toxic aspirations. |
