[Bronchiectasis in rheumatoid arthritis. High resolution computed pulmonary tomography].
La Tunisie Médicale 2003 October
To evaluate the prevalence of bronchiectasis in rhumatoid arthritis (RA) we have study thirty patients (24 women and 6 men), with a mean age of 45,2 years. All patients have a RA with a follow up of 5,84 years, positive rhumatoid factor were found in 22 cases. All patients have had high resolution computed pulmonary tomography, study of clinical, radiological and spirometry parameters. Bronchiectasis was found in 5 cases (16,6%) and is the most frequent abnormality found. These bronchiectasis are associated to an interstitial syndrome (2 cases) and pleural node (1 case). We don't find any significant difference in rhumatoid factor, extra-articular involvements, respiratory manifestations, smoke use or spirometry parameters between the sub group with or without bronchiectasis.
