Amiodarone lung toxicity, exceedingly rare in children, has been described in a child with supraventricular tachycardia after repair of a transposition of the great vessels, who developed acute amiodarone-induced pulmonary toxicity [30" ]. Recent cardiac surgery, a high concentration of inspired oxygen during mechanical ventilation, and chest trauma were considered associated susceptibility factors.
