Probe-based confocal laser endomicroscopy (pCLE) allows microscopic imaging of the
alveoli during bronchoscopy. The objective of the study was to assess the diagnostic
accuracy of pCLE for amiodarone-related pneumonia (AMR-IP). Alveolar pCLE was
performed in 36 nonsmoking patients, including 33 consecutive patients with acute or
subacute interstitial lung disease (ILD), of which 17 were undergoing treatment with
amiodarone, and three were amiodarone-treated patients without ILD. Nine out of 17 …
