ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Rheumatic diseases frequently present with pulmonary involvement. All anatomic structures of the lungs can be affected. Interstitial lung diseases are characterized by a system of patterns evident in high-resolution computed tomography (HR-CT) scanning of the lungs. The HR-CT pattern can differ between rheumatic diseases.OBJECTIVE:
Systematic description of all variants and patterns of pulmonary involvement in rheumatic diseases. MATERIAL ANDMETHODS:
Narrative review based on the current literature on the topic from the perspective of rheumatology, pulmonary diseases and radiology.RESULTS:
Pulmonary involvement is frequent and prognostically relevant. The summary of pulmonary involvement reveals a high variability of affected anatomical structures as well as patterns of interstitial diseases for inflammatory rheumatic diseases. A synopsis of the main diagnostic findings is provided.CONCLUSION:
Every rheumatic disease presented here can be associated with pulmonary involvement. Therefore, a systematic diagnostic evaluation is mandatory at the first diagnosis as well as during follow-up. Apart from clinical findings and lung function HR-CT of the lungs is decisive for the diagnostics.Key words
