Chest. 1988 May;93(5):1106. doi: 10.1378/chest.93.5.1106.

Abstract

Fever, dyspnea, dry cough and interstitial fibrosis occurred in a man with prostate carcinoma treated with nilutamide and buserelin for two and one-half months. The diagnosis of drug-induced fibrosis was established on the basis of chronologic and semiologic events. This is the first such case reported.
