Abstract
Quetiapine is a commonly used antipsychotic drug which has many common side effects such as dizziness, sedation, and metabolic side effects. In addition to them, the drug has also some rare side effects. Among them, little is known about drug-induced interstitial lung disease (DI-ILD). In this case report, we aimed to discuss the side effects of quetiapine use on the lung. We present a case of interstitial lung disease, which is rare side effect, that occurred following quetiapine use in a 54-year-old male schizophrenia patient. In our case, DI-ILD was examined due to the lung findings that occurred after quetiapine treatment started and regressed after quetiapine cessation. Clinicians should be careful about rare lung side effects such as DI-ILD that may develop as a result of quetiapine use.
