[Changes in the lungs in progressive systemic scleroderma].
In 24 patients with progressive systemic scleroderma the respiratory disturbances, X-ray, scintigraphic and clinical deviations as well as the statistical correlations between them are described. The functional examination of respiration revealed lowered diffusion capacity, restrictive type of ventilatory failure and hypoxemia as the most frequent disturbances. The functional examination of respiration is correlated with the X-ray changes in the lungs in these patients.
