Respiratory complications are important morbidity and mortality factors in rheumatoid arthritis. Either the disease itself, secondary effects of necessary drugs, or infections favored by the relative immunosuppression resulting from the disease and therapy can affect all the respiratory structures: airways, lung parenchyma, vessels, chest wall, respiratory muscles. The combined efforts of rheumatologists and pneumologists are required for correct management.
呼吸道并发症是类风湿关节炎发病和死亡的重要因素。无论是疾病本身、必要药物的副作用，还是由疾病和治疗导致的相对免疫抑制所引发的感染，都可能影响所有呼吸结构：气道、肺实质、血管、胸壁、呼吸肌。正确的管理需要风湿病学家和肺科医生的共同努力。
