Abstract
A 21-year-old woman developed noncardiogenic pulmonary edema within 90 min after the use of buprenorphine, 0.2 mg, sublingually for severe dysmenorrhea. No organic cardiovascular illness was detected. The pulmonary edema resolved spontaneously with conservative treatment. The mechanism of pulmonary edema may be an allergic reaction to buprenorphine.
