The connective tissue diseases (CTDs) are inflammatory, immune-mediated disorders in which interstitial lung disease (ILD) is common and clinically important. Interstitial lung disease may be the first manifestation of a CTD in a previously healthy patient. CTD-associated ILD frequently presents with the gradual onset of cough and dyspnea, although rarely may present with fulminant respiratory failure. Infection and drug reaction should always be ruled out. A diagnosis of idiopathic ILD should never be made without a careful search for subtle evidence of underlying CTD. Treatment of CTD-ILD typically includes corticosteroids and immunosuppressive agents.
结缔组织病(CTD)是一种炎症性、免疫介导的疾病,其中间质性肺疾病(ILD)很常见且具有重要的临床意义。ILD 可能是之前健康患者出现 CTD 的首发表现。CTD 相关的 ILD 常表现为逐渐出现的咳嗽和呼吸困难,但罕见情况下也可能以暴发性呼吸衰竭为首发表现。应始终排除感染和药物反应。如果没有仔细寻找潜在 CTD 的细微证据,决不能轻易诊断为特发性 ILD。CTD-ILD 的治疗通常包括皮质类固醇和免疫抑制剂。
