- Abstract
The differential diagnosis of drug-induced lung disease is difficult. Due to non-specific clinical and histological findings and the presence of underlying disease, the diagnosis of drug induced pulmonary disease is difficult. A 33-year-old man with a diagnosis 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 sulfasalazine 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.
