Interstitial lung disease is a rare but increasingly recognized extraintestinal manifestation of inflammatory bowel disease that can have devastating consequences if left untreated. We report a case of ulcerative colitis-associated interstitial lung disease presenting with acute hypoxic respiratory failure during an ulcerative colitis flare. Gastroenterologists and pulmonologists should be aware of the numerous bronchopulmonary signs and symptoms that can suggest systemic illness in inflammatory bowel disease.
间质性肺病是炎症性肠病一种罕见但越来越被认识到的肠外表现，如果不治疗可能会产生毁灭性后果。我们报告一例溃疡性结肠炎相关的间质性肺病，在溃疡性结肠炎发作期间出现急性低氧性呼吸衰竭。胃肠病学家和肺科医生应注意众多可提示炎症性肠病全身性疾病的支气管肺部体征和症状。
