It has been reported that 2.5% to 3% of interstitial lung diseases are related to prescription drugs. Drugs can demonstrate side effects in all components of the respiratory system. A 68-year-old woman was admitted to the department of respiratory diseases with a history of a cough and fever present for 2 weeks. A physical examination revealed crackles in the bilateral lower zones of the respiratory system. She had a history of using sertraline for depression. Based on the results of the clinical evaluation, radiological imaging, and laboratory findings, the patient was diagnosed with interstitial pulmonary disease emerging as a side effect of prescription drug use. As drug-related interstitial lung disease is rare, this case is presented as a contribution to the literature.
