ABSTRACT

Describimos el caso clínico de un paciente que presentó una insuficiencia respiratoria aguda en muy probable relación a toxicidad por gemcitabina. El aumento de incidencia de enfermedades neoplásicas conlleva un mayor uso de este fármaco en el tratamiento de las mismas, y esto a su vez provoca una mayor incidencia de efectos secundarios. La toxicidad pulmonar es especialmente relevante por el posible desenlace fatal que puede conllevar. Detectado y tratado a tiempo, el pronóstico es favorable. Con la intención de aumentar la casuística en este campo de la neumología exponemos el siguiente caso (AU)


We present a case of pulmonary toxicity associated with gemcitabina that caused respiratory insufficiency. The rise in incidences of neoplasms has led to an increase in the use of this drug. This, in turn, has led to a greater probability of side effects. Lung toxicity is particularly relevant as it can be fatal, but with rapid diagnosis and treatment the prognosis can be positive. This description of pulmonary toxicity induced by gemcitabine should provide additional information to what is already known in this field
