ABSTRACT
The collagen vascular diseases are a heterogeneous group of immunologically-mediated inflammatory disorders. Frequently, these diseases affect organ systems outside the thorax as their primary manifestation, but may involve the pleura as a single presenting feature, as part of multisystem involvement, or as an isolated manifestation of a disease that is otherwise quiescent. In this article, we review the manifestations of respiratory disease caused by rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, scleroderma, polymyositis/dermatomyositis, mixed connective tissue disease, Sjogren's syndrome, Wegener's granulomatosis, and sarcoidosis.
