The results of chest x-ray were analyzed in 66 pediatric patients with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA). X-ray signs of pneumofibrosis were revealed in 37 (56%) patients. Besides, rare pulmonary changes (emphysema, rheumatic nodules, infiltrates) were detected in the JRA patients. The absence of clinical symptoms in the presence of x-ray changes necessitates the performance of chest x-ray in JRA for early detection of the pulmonary symptoms of this disease.
对66例幼年类风湿关节炎（JRA）患儿的胸部X光检查结果进行了分析。37例（56%）患者出现了肺纤维化的X光征象。此外，在JRA患者中还检测到罕见的肺部改变（肺气肿、风湿结节、浸润）。在存在X光改变的情况下无临床症状，这就需要对JRA患者进行胸部X光检查，以便早期发现该疾病的肺部症状。
