Absence or low individual and public risk
Chronic drug-induced interstitial lung disorders - what does this mean
Chronic drug-induced interstitial lung disorders occur when an individual is exposed to a drug or medication for an extended period of time, causing inflammation and scarring in the lungs. this can lead to impaired lung function, shortness of breath, and other respiratory symptoms.
What happens during the disease - chronic drug-induced interstitial lung disorders
Chronic drug-induced interstitial lung disorders are caused by a prolonged exposure to certain drugs, which leads to inflammation and damage of the lung tissue. this damage can cause a variety of symptoms, including difficulty breathing, wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, and fatigue. over time, the inflammation can lead to scarring of the lung tissue, resulting in a decrease in lung function and an increased risk of developing other respiratory illnesses.
Clinical Pattern

How does a doctor diagnose
- Complete physical examination
- Chest X-ray
- Spirometry
- CT scan
- Bronchoscopy
- Lung biopsy
- Blood tests
- Pulmonary function tests
- Pulse oximetry
Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main goal of the treatment: To reduce inflammation and improve lung function.
- Avoiding exposure to environmental and occupational pollutants
- Managing underlying diseases, such as diabetes, asthma, and COPD
- Treating underlying infections, such as pneumonia
- Stopping the use of drugs that may be causing the condition
- Using corticosteroids to reduce inflammation
- Using bronchodilators to open the airways
- Using antibiotics to treat infections
- Using oxygen therapy to improve oxygen levels
- Using pulmonary rehabilitation to improve lung function
- Using immunosuppressant drugs to reduce inflammation
- Using surgery to remove scar tissue from the lungs
20 Days of Hospitalization Required
Average Time for Outpatient Care Not Established
Chronic drug-induced interstitial lung disorders - Prevention
The best way to prevent chronic drug-induced interstitial lung disorders is to avoid the use of drugs that can lead to this disorder. some drugs, such as amiodarone, can cause this disorder, so it is important to be aware of the potential risks associated with any drug before taking it. in addition, it is important to monitor lung function regularly and to seek medical attention if any changes in breathing or other symptoms occur.
