AbstractTen Chinese patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and with persistent respiratory symptoms were evaluated with high resolution computed tomography (HRCT), chest radiographs and lung function tests. Fourteen of 15 HRCT scans performed were abnormal. The predominant disease pattern, seen in 60% of patients, was one of chronic interstitial lung disease with honeycombing, architectural distortion, parenchymal bands, pleural irregularity, and a lower zone predominance. Three of 10 patients had histological evidence of either lung fibrosis or interstitial pneumonitis. Airways disease and pleural thickening were seen in 20% and 87% of scans, respectively. Pleural thickening and honeycombing were present in 53% and 20% of chest radiographs, respectively. All concurrent lung function tests were abnormal. Reduced diffusion capacity of carbon monoxide (DLCO/VA) was observed in 60% of lung function tests. There was no correlation between duration of disease and DLCO/VA. However, pathological reduction of DLCO/VA was seen in 71% of patients with honeycombing, and 88% of patients with ground glass opacity. Our study has documented a high incidence of HRCT features of chronic lung destruction and a lower zone predominance in SLE patients with persistent respiratory symptoms.
