Article Synopsis
- Dasatinib is a medication used to treat Philadelphia-positive chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), but it can cause complications, one of which is chylothorax—a buildup of fluid in the chest.
- A case of a 79-year-old female who developed acute breathing issues while on dasatinib revealed bilateral chylothorax, leading to the conclusion that the medication was likely the cause, as no other risk factors were found.
- After stopping dasatinib and switching to bosutinib, along with a low-fat diet, the patient showed no recurrence of chylothorax six months later, highlighting the need for awareness and management strategies regarding this complication
