An Unusual Case Presentation on Docetaxel Induced Lung Injury
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.
