| Description: |
A 50‐year‐old man who had been dependent on home parenteral nutrition (HPN) for 24 years presented with shortness of breath. A computed tomography scan of the lungs revealed a diffuse micronodular parenchymal infiltrate. On bronchoscopy, a crystalloid material was identified. This organic material was determined to be consistent with codeine. The patient had been injecting codeine into his intravenous catheter. |
