Radiographic patterns of drug-induced lung diseases.
Drugs which induce lung disease are categorized according to the radiographic pattern of the disease. The five categories are: (a) diffuse interstitial (reticulo-nodular) findings, (b) diffuse air-space consolidation, (c) pleural effusion of fibrosis, (d) hilar or mediastinal widening, and (e) localized areas of consolidation. Information regarding onset, reversibility, fever, eosinophilia, and findings associated with each drug is presented. An extensive list of references is included.
