The spectrum of systemic rheumatologic disease (often termed
connective tissue disease) is characterized by autoimmune-mediated
organ dysfunction and the lungs are a frequent target. There are
numerous pulmonary manifestations--with varied incidence and
prevalence--associated with connective tissue diseases and all
patients with rheumatologic disease are at risk of developing
associated lung disease. It is not known why specific connective
tissue diseases are more likely to be associated with certain types
of lung disease and there is still much to learn about the natural
history of this connection. Largely due to the interplay concerning
the diverse nature of the connective tissue diseases and the
frequently heterogeneous forms of lung involvement encountered, the
arena of rheumatologic lung disease poses major challenges to
practicing clinicians. Moreover, the assessment and management of
rheumatologic lung disease requires a multi-disciplinary approach
and is optimized by active engagement by rheumatologists working
closely with pulmonologists and other specialists.Pulmonary
Manifestations of Rheumatic Disease offers a practical and
comprehensive overview of lung disease encountered in patients with
systemic rheumatic diseases. The book helps practicing clinicians
in the ongoing assessment, management, and understanding of
rheumatologic lung disease. While providing chapters on the science
and pathophysiology underlying rheumatologic lung diseases, the
text has a case-based approach and is more significantly weighted
towards the clinical aspects and implications of the diseases. The
first text of its kind specifically dedicated to describe diverse,
commonplace, and challenging aspects of rheumatologic lung
diseases, Pulmonary Manifestations of Rheumatic Disease serves as
an invaluable tool for the practicing clinician.
