Abstract:
Objective To analyze the characteristic findings of chest high-resolution CT (HRCT) in the patients with syetemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).Methods A retrospective analysis of HRCT manifestations was performed in 17 patients with clinically proven SLE.Results The HRCT finding included thickened interiobular septa(n=9), “irregular interface” sign(n=7), subpleural bands(n=7), increase lung attenuation(n=7), bronchiectasis(n=3), “honeycomb” sign(n=4), pulmonary emphysema(n=6), SLE pneumonia(n=4), nodular parenchymal opacities(n=4), patchy airspace consolidation(n=4), pleuritis(n=13), pericarditis(n=3) and mediastinal or axillary lymphadenopathy(n=8).Conclusion The correct identifying of the HRCT manifestations plays an important role in the early diagnosis and treament of pulmonary involvement due to SLE.
