[Drug-induced pulmonary diseases: diagnostic, therapeutic and prognostic aspects. Apropos of 10 personal case reports].
    Revue des maladies respiratoires, 1992, Volume: 9, Issue:6

    The authors report ten cases of drug induced lung diseases, complicated by respiratory failure of whom five were attributed to cytotoxic drugs and five to non cytotoxic drugs. The drug induced lung disease presented as acute respiratory distress syndrome in two cases, alveolar interstitial lung disease in three cases, purely interstitial in five cases. There was acute respiratory failure (ARF) in eight cases and chronic respiratory failure (CRF) in two cases. Among the five patients admitted for cytotoxic drug induced lung disease and ARF, four recovered and one died of diffuse destructive pulmonary fibrosis. Among the five patients having non cytotoxic drug induced lung disease, three were in ARF and recovered. The other two had CRF and died of diffuse pulmonary fibrosis. The diagnostic of drug induced lung disease was established in each case with the chronology of the clinical events, the exclusion of other possible causes of the lung disease and the evolution after removal of the incriminated drug. Broncho-alveolar lavage (BAL) had a major diagnostic value. It was contraindicated by respiratory failure in five cases. The predominant alveolar cell type was lymphocyte (four cases), eosinophil (three cases) and neutrophil (one case), BAL was realized with a provocation test and demonstrated the pathogenic role of cyclothiazide in one case. No specific information was given by histology. The prognosis did not seem to be linked to the severity of the initial clinical picture, or to the nature of the underlying neoplastic disorder, but to the degree and evolution of the pulmonary fibrosis.
