ABS TRACT Inhaled or intravenous (IV) abuse of illicit drugs is a common health problem and has acute-chronic pulmonary complications depending on the administration route. IV administration may result many side effects depending on to drug’s pharmacodynamics or contamination. A variety of radiological changes are predictable for pulmonary complications. Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a rare manifestation of heroin addiction due to especially talcosis. Our patient had history of IV heroin usage for 5 years. His computed thorax tomography (CTT) revealed bibasiller interstitial changes. Other common reasons that can lead to this condition were excluded and ILD was dedicated to heroin addiction. Further investigation couldn’t be done because of patient’s refusal. Particularly in a young patient with ILD findings on CTT drug abuse should be remembered. We aim to report a young boy with interstitial lung disease thought to be about IV heroin injection.
