摘要

The present report describes a 48-year-old woman with a history of recurrent 'crack' cocaine use, who developed progressive shortness of breath over a period of years. Serial imaging revealed progressive interstitial fibrosis secondary to recurrent alveolar hemorrhage and inflammation from crack cocaine.
