Description
Mathieu Megevet and colleagues report in 2026 a rare lung reaction to the myeloma drug pomalidomide in a 67-year-old man. He was receiving a three-drug regimen for relapsed blood cancer when breathlessness, cough, sweating, and chills built over a week. Symptoms had first flickered three months earlier, weeks after the regimen began.
Washing fluid from the lungs was rich in eosinophils, a hallmark white cell of allergic-type lung injury. Antibiotics failed to help, while stopping the drug and starting steroids brought fast clinical and scan improvement. Lung function stayed recovered at twelve months.
