ABSTRACT
Bleomycin-induced pulmonary toxitity usually occurs in the elderly patients (graeatee than 70 years old), patients with a cumulative dose above 400 units, previous chest radiotherapy, oxygen therapy, and reanal failure. H owever, there are some reports of severe pneumonitis in that developed after dministering low bleomycin doses (less than 100 units). In sever bleomycin-induced pneumonitis in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma patients, the response to corticosteroid is poor and the mortality rate is very high, approximately 83%. Therefore, clinicians should have a low threshold for investigating and treating bleomycin-induced pneumonitis. Here, we report a case of severe bleomycin-induced pneumonitis as a complication of a non-Hodgkin's lymphoma treatment.
