Abstract
Drug-induced lung disease, also known as drug-induced lung damage, is the lung damage caused by drugs and their metabolites through direct cytotoxicity or allergic immune reactions, as a part of systemic adverse reactions caused by drugs. Previous studies have reported that lung damage accounts for 6–7% of adverse drug reactions [1]. More than 350 kinds of drugs can cause lung damage. Drugs with lung toxicity include chemotherapy drugs, antibiotics, cardiovascular drugs, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, etc. Drug-induced lung damage caused by cytotoxic chemotherapy drugs is the most common. In recent years, drug-induced lung damage has been increasing year by year with the emergence of biological agents, new anti-tumor targeted drugs, and programmed death protein 1 (PD-1) immunotherapy.
