An Unusual Case Presentation on Docetaxel Induced Lung Injury

Year: 2026

Type: article

Study design: Case Report

Abstract: ABSTRACT Docetaxel can rarely cause acute interstitial lung injury early in therapy. New‐onset cough, fever, or dyspnea after chemotherapy should prompt immediate evaluation, exclusion of infection, and high‐resolution CT imaging. Early drug withdrawal and timely corticosteroid therapy can result in rapid clinical recovery and prevent serious morbidity.
