At histopathologic analysis, connective tissue disease-related interstitial lung diseases (CTD-ILDs) are diverse and include nonspecific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP), usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP), organizing pneumonia (OP), apical fibrosis, diffuse alveolar damage (DAD), and lymphoid interstitial ...
Connective tissue diseases (CTDs) (also referred to as collagen vascular diseases [CVDs], because collagen is typically affected, and there may be a vascular component) are a heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by the presence of autoantibodies, such as systemic sclerosis (SSc), rheumatoi...
Management of a patient with connective tissue interstitial lung disease (CTD-ILD) depends on disease severity with a focus on improving quality of life. Therapeutic interventions include medications, which aim to prevent progression to fibrosis and decrease inflammation or alveolitis, supplemental oxygen...
The connective tissue diseases (CTDs) are inflammatory, immune-mediated disorders in which interstitial lung disease (ILD) is common and clinically important. Interstitial lung disease may be the first manifestation of a CTD in a previously healthy patient. CTD-associated ILD frequently presents with...

Lung disease is a common manifestation of connective tissue disease (CTD) and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The evaluation of lung disease, and interstitial lung disease (ILD) in particular, in patients with CTD is complex because of the heterogeneity of the CTDs and ...
As previously mentioned, a multidisciplinary approach to the diagnosis and treatment of connective tissue disease-associated interstitial lung disease (CTD-ILD) is of paramount importance. A thorough history and physical examination should be supplemented by chest radiography, serum biomarkers and, occasiona...
Connective tissue disease can sometimes cause serious and deadly health problems, such as: High blood pressure in your lungs (pulmonary hypertension) Lung scarring (interstitial lung disease), which makes it hard to breathe Heart disease (your heart may become enlarged or inflamed, which can lead...
Interstitial lung disease (ILD) complicating connective tissue disorders, such as scleroderma and rheumatoid arthritis, is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Progress has been made in our understanding of these collective diseases; however, there are still many unanswered questions. In th...
