Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis and bronchiolitis obliterans organized pneumonia.
Diverse pleuropulmonary manifestations, including pleural effusion, rheumatoid nodulosis, fibrosis, obliterans brochiolitis, bronchiectasias, vasculitis, drug-induced lung disease, and obliterans bronchiolitis with organized pneumonia, have been described in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Bronchiolitis obliterans organized pneumonia (BOOP) is an uncommon condition described in patients with RA but not in juvenile RA (JRA). We described a patient with JRA who developed a BOOP.
