Pulmonary Involvement In Systemic Inflammatory Disease Flashcards
Life-threatening complication of JIA
Macrophage activation syndrome
Pulmonary involvement in JIA
Pleuritis, usually with pericarditis
Pulmonary hemosiderosis
Lymphoid folllicular bronchiolitis
Lymphocytic interstitial fibrosis
Alveolar proteinosis
Pulmonary manifestations of MAS
Pulmonary hemorrhage
Pulmonary edema
Pneumonitis
PFT in JIA
Restrictive > obstructive
Varying reductions in DLCO
Treatment of JIA
- NSAIDs; CS if unresponsive
- Methotrexate
- TNFa inhibitors (etanercept, adalimumab, infliximab)
Others: IL-1 antagonists, IL-6 antagonist (tocilizumab), cyclosporine
Prognosis of JIA
Low mortality
Acute pleuritis responds well without sequelae
High mortality in PAH, ILD, AP
Pulmonary involvement in SLE
Pleuritis with pleural effusion
Pulmonary infections
Inflammatory pulmonary lesions
Pleural effusion in SLE
Exudative
PFT in SLE
Slow, progressively restrictive pattern which may improve or stabilize
Histopathology in SLE
Alveolar wall thickening, interstitial fibrosis and infiltrates, deposits of immunoglobulin and complement
Rare complications of SLE
Pulmonary hemorrhage
Pulmonary hypertension
Shrinking lung syndrome
Common infections in pulmonary hemorrhage in SLE
Aspergillosis
Pseudomonas
CMV
Risk factor for pulmonary hypertension in SLE
Lupus anticoagulant
Treatment of SLE
Pleural effusion - corticosteroid
Pulmonary hemorrhage - MPPT, CS, cyclophosphamide, plasmapharesis
Others: hydroxychloroquine, rituximab
Most common cause of death in SLE
Infection
Associated with ILD in JDM in adults
Anti-Jo-1
Antisynthetase antibodies
Pulmonary involvement in JDM
ILD - can be rapidly progressive
Pneumomediastinum
Aspiration pneumonia
Hypoventilation
Most common presenting symptoms of ILD in JDM
Cough, dyspnea
PFTs in JDM
Restrictive - decreased lung volumes, normal or elevated FEV1/FVC
Reduced DLCO
HRCT in JDM
Irregular linear opacities with areas of consolidation and GGO (active inflammation)
Honeycombing is uncommon
Treatment of JDM
Corticosteroid, MPPT
Methotrexate
Cyclosporine + CS
IVIg
Rituximab
Pulmonary involvement in SSc
ILD
PAH
Cardiomyopathy
Mediator of vascular changes in SSc
Endothelin-1
Radiographic findings in SSc
GGO
Reticular pattern
Traction bronchiectasis
Honeycombing
Subpleural micronodules
DLCO in SSc
Reduced due to ILD or PAH
PFTs in SSc
Restrictive due to limited chest wall expansion, lung volume loss, pulmonary fibrosis
Associated with ILD in SSc
KL-6
Treatment for SSc
Cyclophosphamide
Lung transplantation
Stem cell transplantation
Others: MMF, azathioprine, rituximab
MCTD clinical features are a combination of:
SSc, SLE, JDM
Antibodies associated with MCTD
Anti-U1 RNP
Differentiates MCTD from SLE
Absence of neurologic or renal disease in MCTD
Pulmonary involvement in MCTD
Pulmonary fibrosis
Pulmonary effusion
PAH
Less common:
Thromboembolic disease
Pulmonary hemorrhage
Diaphragmatic dysfunction
Aspiration pneumonitis
