    Abstract:
    Hydroxyurea is a drug widely used to control myeloproliferative disorders, due in part to its relative lack of severe side effects. We present a case of acute interstitial pneumonitis in a patient who was treated with hydroxyurea for essential thrombocythemia. The clinical course suggests that the interstitial pneumonitis was induced by hydroxyurea. This is the first case of hydroxyurea-induced acute interstitial pneumonitis reported in the literature.
