title: Mechanisms of drug-induced pulmonary disease.
abstract: Administration of a number of therapeutic agents is associated with respiratory alterations. Mechanisms of these alterations are unclear but may include both direct toxic effects of the drugs and indirect effects through actions of the drugs on inflammatory cells. This review discusses mechanisms of the varied patterns of drug-induced pulmonary disease.
