More than 350 drugs can cause lung injury, presenting as shortness of breath and dry cough. Diagnosis involves pulmonary function tests, CT scans, and bronchoscopy, with drug withdrawal and corticosteroids as treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Pulmonology
  • Pharmacology
  • Thoracic Medicine

Context:

  • Over 350 medications are known to induce adverse pulmonary effects.
  • Drug-induced lung disease presents with diverse pathological changes.
  • Common symptoms include exertional dyspnea and dry cough.

Purpose:

  • To review the spectrum of drug-induced lung diseases.
  • To outline diagnostic approaches for suspected drug-induced pulmonary toxicity.
  • To discuss management strategies for patients with drug-induced lung injury.

Summary:

  • Drug-induced lung disease encompasses a wide range of pathologies affecting the lungs and thorax.
  • Key diagnostic tools include pulmonary function testing, high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT), and bronchoscopy with bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL).

  • While no specific drug yields a unique pathological finding, prompt discontinuation of the suspected agent and corticosteroid therapy for severe cases are recommended.

    • Impact:

    • Highlights the significant burden of drug-induced lung disease.
    • Provides a framework for clinical diagnosis and management.
    • Emphasizes the importance of considering medication history in respiratory symptoms.
