Abstract
A diffuse interstitial pulmonary fibrosis associated with an idiopathic hepatic cirrhosis occurred in a 79 years old man treated during five years with cyclothiazide and triamterene for a mild systemic hypertension. The outcome was fatal. A provocation test was positive with BAL lymphocytic reaction. Cyclothiazide induced fibrosis is likely.
