Infection, primary lung pathology, rheumatic involvement, malignancy and drug-induced involvement can be suggested as differential diagnosis of a case with rheumatic disease who applied to an emergency service with pulmonary symptoms.The drugs cause 2.5-3% of interstitial lung diseases.Sulfasalazine has been widely used in the treatment of inflammatory rheumatic conditions and it is an extremely rare reason for interstitial lung disase. Here, we aimed to present the rarely seen sulfasalazine-induced interstitial pulmonary disease and its treatment. Sulphasalazine -induced lung disease can mimic the symptoms of infectious and rheumatic lung involvement and can cause serious diagnostic confusion.

Romatoloji Kliniğindeki Ender Bir İnterstisyel Akciğer Hastalığı Sebebi: Sulfasalazinin Tetiklediği Akut Akciğer Hasarı Olgusu

Öz

Enfeksiyon , primer akciğer hastalıkları, romatolojik tutulum, malignite ve ilaca bağlı tutulumların hepsi interstisyel akciğer hastalığı bulgularıyla acil servise başvuran bir romatizma hastasında akla gelebilecek ayırıcı tanılardır. İlaçlara bağlı tutulumlar tüm interstisyel akciğer hastalığı olgularının %2.5 -3 arasındaki sebebini oluşturur. Sülfasalazin inflamatuar romatolojik hastalıkların tedavisinde geniş kullanım alanı olan bir ajan olup interstiyel akciğer hastalıklarına oldukça seyrek de olsa sebep olabilmektedir. Ayrıca sülfasalazine bağlı akciğer tutulumu enfeksiyonlar ve romatolojik tutulumları da taklit edip ciddi tanısal karışıklığa sebep olabilir. Biz de bu yazımızda ; nadiren karşılaşılan sülfasalazinin tetiklediği akciğer olgumuz ve bu durumun tedavisine değindik.
