Drug-Induced Lung Disease: Report of Two Cases

As a considerable number of drugs has the potential of pulmonary toxicity, the diagnosis of drug-induced lung disease is an important challenge. Herein, we present two female cases. The first case was an 80-year-old woman who was under sulfasalazine treatment for ulcerative colitis and the other case was a 70-year-old woman who was under nitrofurantoin treatment due to chronic pyelonephritis. Their physical examination findings were normal and both patients had non-homogenous consolidations with interstitial involvement on computed tomography. Based on the clinical and radiological findings in conjunction with the results of invasive procedures, drug-induced lung disease was suggested. Clinical and radiological improvement was achieved with the discontinuation of the drugs. We report these cases due to its rarity.
