Abstract:
Objective:By analyzing the characteristics, diagnosis, and treatment process of anti-synthetase syndrome complicated by interstitial pneumonia and cardiac dysfunction, we aim to enhance general practitioners' understanding and diagnosis of this disease, thereby improving their level of diagnosis and treatment and reducing misdiagnoses and missed diagnoses.Methods:A patient with anti-synthase syndrome complicated by interstitial pneumonia and cardiac dysfunction, who was admitted to The First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Medical University in February 2020 due to limb weakness accompanied by paroxysmal cough for 2 years and aggravated symptoms for 10 days, was included in this study. The patient's clinical symptoms, physical signs, laboratory examination results, diagnosis and treatment process, and follow-up were retrospectively analyzed based on previous literature.Results:Through the general practitioner's SOAP consultation, physical examination, and imaging examination, the patient was diagnosed with anti-synthase syndrome complicated by interstitial pneumonia and cardiac dysfunction. Then rheumatology and immunology experts, respiratory medicine experts, and cardiovascular experts collaborated to provide a specialist diagnosis and treatment plan for the patient. Subsequently, the patient was referred to the department of rheumatology and immunology for specialized disease management. Finally, the patient was followed up in the general clinic. After the patient's condition stabilized, she gradually resumed her health.Conclusion:The multidisciplinary diagnosis and treatment scheme for anti-synthase syndrome can enhance general practitioners' understanding of the disease, make the diagnosis of the disease, and fully leverage the advantages of multi-disciplinary consultation and primary diagnosis in general medicine.
