Abstract
A 69-year-old male patient with seropositive erosive rheumatoid arthritis (RA) presented to our clinic due to progressive dyspnea. High-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) and immunological bronchioalveolar lavage revealed ground-glass opacities and a lymphocytic alveolitis caused by interstitial lung disease (ILD) in RA. Considering previous forms of treatment, disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD) treatment was switched to tofacitinib. Tofacitinib treatment demonstrated a 33% reduction in ground-glass opacities by artificial intelligence-based quantification of pulmonary HRCT over the course of 6 months, which was associated with an improvement in dyspnea symptoms. In conclusion, tofacitinib represents an effective anti-inflammatory therapeutic option in the treatment of RA-ILD.
期刊介绍:
Die Zeitschrift für Rheumatologie ist ein international angesehenes Publikationsorgan und dient der Fortbildung von niedergelassenen und in der Klinik tätigen Rheumatologen. Die Zeitschrift widmet sich allen Aspekten der klinischen Rheumatologie, der Therapie rheumatischer Erkrankungen sowie der rheumatologischen Grundlagenforschung.
Umfassende Übersichtsarbeiten zu einem aktuellen Schwerpunktthema sind das Kernstück jeder Ausgabe. Im Mittelpunkt steht dabei gesichertes Wissen zu Diagnostik und Therapie mit hoher Relevanz für die tägliche Arbeit – der Leser erhält konkrete Handlungsempfehlungen.
Frei eingereichte Originalien ermöglichen die Präsentation wichtiger klinischer Studien und dienen dem wissenschaftlichen Austausch.
