Drug-related pneumonitis with radiographic hypersensitivity pneumonitis pattern: Three case series

Abstract

Novel therapies have recently emerged for various diseases, and the management of drug-related pneumonitis (DRP) has become increasingly important. In particular, the hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) pattern of DRP has been increasingly recognized due to development of new therapeutic strategies, such as immunotherapy. However, literature describing detailed clinical cases is still lacking.Herein, we report three cases of DRP with typical HP radiographic pattern. These patients were treated with different drugs, namely nano albumin-bound (nab)-paclitaxel, everolimus, or nivolumab, but had common clinical features, including a good prognosis.
