Upper respiratory tract vedolizumab adverse events are common; however, they are mild and do not require treatment withdrawal. Herein, we present a 39-year-old patient under vedolizumab treatment for ulcerative colitis who presented acute severe interstitial lung injury that necessitated vedolizumab withdrawal and systemic steroids administration.
