Organizing pneumonia (OP) is one of the rare pulmonary manifestations of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) which is infrequently reported as a presenting manifestation. Early diagnosis of lupus-related OP with the help of imaging, can drive to prompt initiation of immunosuppressive therapy leading to a better prognosis. We present a case of a 34-year-old young male who presented with fever, myalgia, and a dry cough for 1 month and was later diagnosed as SLE-related organizing pneumonia.
机化性肺炎（OP）是系统性红斑狼疮（SLE）罕见的肺部表现之一，很少作为首发表现被报道。借助影像学对狼疮相关的OP进行早期诊断，可促使及时启动免疫抑制治疗，从而获得更好的预后。我们报告一例34岁年轻男性病例，该患者出现发热、肌痛和干咳1个月，后来被诊断为SLE相关的机化性肺炎。
