396-401. Rheumatoid pneumoconiosis is often a fairly benign condition but in some patients it progresses rapidly and causes severe disability. One patient with rheumatoid pneumoconiosis was treated with chloroquine followed by corticosteroids, and another patient was treated with corticosteroids only. Both showed considerable symptomatic and objective improvement with radiographic regression. Treatment has been continued for five and six years respectively but some progression of the disease has again occurred over this time and with a reduced dose of corticosteroids.
396 - 401。类风湿性尘肺通常是一种相当良性的病症，但在一些患者中，它会迅速进展并导致严重残疾。一名类风湿性尘肺患者先用氯喹治疗，随后使用皮质类固醇，另一名患者仅接受皮质类固醇治疗。两人在症状和客观指标上均有显著改善，影像学表现也有所消退。治疗分别持续了五年和六年，但在此期间疾病再次出现了一些进展，且皮质类固醇剂量有所减少。
