ABSTRACT
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is one of the most common types of autoimmune arthritis. It can also involve other organs, including vascular structures, and lungs which are affected in 60% to 80% of cases. Other complications may present as airway infections and drug related pulmonary toxicity. We present the case of 75-year-old male patient of North African decent that was hospitalized initially for chronic dyspnea associated with other systemic manifestations, and in whom we confirmed the diagnosis of Rheumatoid arthritis associated interstitial lung disease. The patient was treated with methotrexate (MTX) and later on, he developed a fatal case of methotrexate related pulmonary toxicity.
