Abstract:
Connective tissue disease in children is a systemic multi-system damage caused by chronic inflammation of systemic connective tissue and blood vessels.Lung is often the first organ invaded by the disease, and interstitial lesions are an important manifestation of lung damage, with an increasing incidence.Initial clinical manifestations of this disease are often insidious and lack specificity.When its clinical symptoms are detectable, lung lesions often have progressed and the lung tissue structure remodeling has occurred.Therefore, early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to improve its prognosis.In this article, the clinical characteristics, diagnosis and treatment of connective tissue disease-associated interstitial lung disease in children were reviewed, in order to help improve its diagnosis and treatment.
