[Drug-induced disseminated lung diseases].
Disseminated pulmonary diseases sensu stricto are interstitial lung disorders, pulmonary edema, diffuse pulmonary bleeding as well as bronchiolitis obliterans and thrombo-embolic disorders. Three important pathogenetic mechanisms are direct toxicity, allergy/immunology and idiosyncrasy; however, unfrequently essential elements of pathogenesis are unknown. The multitude of potential noxious agents implies that the clinician principally has to consider the possibility of drug-toxicity in all cases of disseminated pulmonary diseases. In order to give a complete presentation summaries organized as tables could not be avoid. The most sensible measure for disseminated lung diseases is the functional parameter DLCO; it is more sensible than the conventional X-ray. The drug of choice for a treatment are corticosteroids.
