Abstract

Rheumatoid arthritis is a systemic disease that may have pulmonary manifestations. We describe a case of eosinophilic pneumonia as the primary presentation of rheumatoid arthritis. While several cases of acute and chronic eosinophilic pneumonia have been reported in patients with preexisting rheumatoid arthritis, this is the first case reported in which the eosinophilic lung disease was the initial manifestation of systemic rheumatoid arthritis.

摘要

类风湿性关节炎是一种可能有肺部表现的全身性疾病。我们描述了一例以嗜酸性粒细胞性肺炎为类风湿性关节炎主要表现的病例。虽然已有数例急性和慢性嗜酸性粒细胞性肺炎在已有类风湿性关节炎的患者中被报道，但这是首例报道的以嗜酸性粒细胞性肺病作为全身性类风湿性关节炎初始表现的病例。
