Leflunomide (LEF) is an isoxazole derivative used as disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug (DMARD) in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). It is effective and safe in patients with active RA, in whom standard treatment is insufficient or contraindicated, but it can cause interstitial lung disease (ILD).

We present a case of 59-year-old male with RA and a history of smoking and methotrexate (MTX) treatment, who developed dyspnoea, non-productive cough, and fever about two months after the administration of LEF. The clinical and radiological presentat...
