ABSTRACT
Clopidogrel is an antithrombotic agent widely used for the secondary prevention of cerebrovascular and cardiovascular complications. Clopidogrel can cause serious adverse events, including gastrointestinal bleeding. Pulmonary complications caused by clopidogrel are not widely described, and clopidogrel-induced interstitial lung disease (ILD) is rare. Here, we report a case of drug-induced ILD in a patient who presented with dyspnea, chest pain, and mild fever. The patient underwent percutaneous coronary intervention two months ago and was commenced on clopidogrel. He was diagnosed with clopidogrel-induced ILD based on clinical and imaging findings, history of drug exposure without any change, exclusion of other respiratory disorders, and clinical improvement after discontinuation of clopidogrel and steroid use.
