Biyolojik ajanların pulmoner komplikasyonları
Journal Title: Ege Tıp Dergisi - Year 2019, Vol 58, Issue 0
Abstract
İnflamatuvar romatolojik hastalıklarda biyolojik ajanların kullanımı ile ilgili veri sayısı artmaktadır. Son zamanlarda, biyolojik ajanlarla ilişkili non-enfeksiyöz komplikasyonlar arasında en sık granülomatöz hastalık ve interstisyel akciğer hastalığı görülmektedir. Ek olarak, bu ilaçlarla ilişkili en ciddi yan etkiler bakteriyel pnömoni gibi solunum sistemi enfeksiyonları, tüberküloz ve Pneumocystis jirovecii pnömonisidir. Özellikle, tümör nekroz faktör-alfa (TNF-α) gibi biyolojik ajanlar ile yapılan tedaviler artmış tüberküloz riski ile ilişkilidir. Bu ilaçları alan hastalarda tüberküloz taraması ve latent tüberküloz tedavisi yapılması bu nedenle endikedir.
