This book explores the pulmonary involvement in rheumatic diseases, focusing on interstitial lung disease (ILD) associated with conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, Sjögren’s syndrome, and systemic sclerosis. It examines the etiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, diagnostic approaches, and risk factors of ILD in rheumatologic patients. The work aims to provide clinicians, especially those in rheumatology and pulmonology, with evidence-based knowledge to improve early diagnosis and management strategies. The authors discuss genetic predispositions, environmental triggers like smoking, and the role of antibodies, including anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibodies (ACPA), in disease development.
