Abstract
Introduction
Organizing pneumonia is a pattern of lung tissue repair after injury characterized by inflammation and fibroproliferation without alteration to lung parenchyma architecture. We present a patient with organizing pneumonia secondary to the aromatic antiseizure medication lamotrigine.
Methods
A retrospective chart review was performed; a literature review included studies published in English, and a case compendium was analyzed.
