Abstract
- Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA) can develop the extra-articular manifestations, which are growth retardation, osteopenia, chronic uveitis, and rarely pleuropulmonary involvement. Approximately 30% of patients with JRA show abnormal pulmonary function test without pulmonary symptoms, in which the frequent abnormality is in carbon monoxide diffusing capacity, but clinically evident pulmonary parenchymal disease in JRA is extremely uncommon. We describe a 23-years-old female with JRA who presented with dyspnea due to interstitial lung disease and pulmonary hypertension. She had suffered from polyarthralgia and dyspnea since 8 years old.
