Abstract

The differential diagnosis of drug-induced lung dis-ease is difficult. Due to non-specific clinical and his-tological findings and the presence ofunderlying disease, the diagnosis of drug induced pulmonary disease is difficult. A 33-year-old man with a diagno-sis of rheumatoid arthritis who had been treated with sulfasalazine for three months was admitted due to coughing, dyspnea, and weight loss. There were no pathological findings in the physical examination. Non-homogeneous infiltrates in the bilateral upper lobes were seen on the thorax CT. With these clinical and radiological findings in the patient, sulfasalazine-induced lung disease was considered. After sulfasala-zine treatment was terminated, the patient's clinical and radiological findings improved. Because sul-fasalazine-induced lung disease is rarely observed, we aimed to present this case with literature reviews

Özet

İlaca bağlı akciğer hastalığının ayırıcı tanısı zordur. Klinik, histolojik bulguların özgül olmaması ve altta yatan hastalığın varlığı ilaca bağlı akciğer hastalığının tanısında zorluk yaratır. Romatoid artrit tanısı alan ve üç aydır sulfasalazin kullanan 33 yaşında erkek hasta öksürük, nefes darlığı ve kilo kaybı şikâyetiile baş-vurdu. Fizik muayenesinde romatoid artritin eklem tutulumu dışında patolojiye rastlanmayan hastanın toraks BT’sinde bilateral üst loblarda non homojen konsolidasyon alanları saptandı. Olguda mevcut klinik ve radyolojik bulgular sonucunda sulfasalazine bağlı akciğer hastalığı düşünüldü. Sulfasalazin teda-visi kesildi ve klinik ve radyolojik düzelme görüldü. Sulfasalazine bağlı akciğer hastalığı nadir görülmesi nedeni ile literatür bilgileri eşliğinde sunmayı amaç-ladık
