Abstract: Interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) are heterogeneous disorders, involving a large number of conditions, the approach to which continues to pose an enormous challenge for pulmonologists. The 2012 Brazilian Thoracic Association ILD Guidelines were established in order to provide Brazilian pulmonologists with an instrument that can facilitate the management of patients with ILDs, standardizing the criteria used for the diagnosis of different conditions and offering guidance on the best treatment in various situati… Show more

“…( 17 ) The use of other immunosuppressive agents should be reserved for patients with progressive chronic sarcoid arthropathy that is refractory to treatment with systemic corticosteroids or in whom steroids have generated side effects. According to the Brazilian Thoracic Association Guidelines for Interstitial Lung Diseases, ( 18 ) there are alternative treatments, such as methotrexate, azathioprine, leflunomide and hydroxychloroquine. Methotrexate is an efficient and corticosteroid-sparing therapeutic agent for the treatment of musculoskeletal manifestations of sarcoidosis.…”

“…( 17 ) O uso de outros agentes imunossupressores deve ser reservado para pacientes com artropatia sarcoide crônica progressiva refratária a tratamento com corticosteroides sistêmicos ou nos quais os esteroides geraram efeitos colaterais. De acordo com as Diretrizes de Doenças Pulmonares Intersticiais da Sociedade Brasileira de Pneumologia e Tisiologia, ( 18 ) existem tratamentos alternativos, como o metotrexato, a azatioprina, a leflunomida e a hidroxicloroquina. O metotrexato é um agente terapêutico eficiente e poupador de corticosteroides para o tratamento de manifestações músculo-esqueléticas da sarcoidose.…”

“…In such patients, in the context of immunosuppression, infection should be considered as an important differential. ( 13 ) It should be borne in mind that the use of adalimumab has been associated with cases of pulmonary cryptococcosis ( 14 ) and disseminated mycobacteriosis. ( 15 ) In this clinical context, diffuse ground-glass opacities associated with intralobular septal thickening should also lead to the exclusion of other etiologies, such as viral infections or infections with Pneumocystis jiroveci , ( 16 ) alveolar hemorrhage, pulmonary congestion, and drug toxicity due to concomitant treatment with methotrexate.…”

“…Nesses pacientes, no contexto de imunossupressão, deve-se considerar infecção como um importante diferencial. ( 13 ) Deve-se lembrar que há relatos da associação entre o uso de adalimumabe com casos de criptococose pulmonar ( 14 ) e micobacteriose disseminada. ( 15 ) Nesse contexto clínico, opacidades em vidro fosco difusas em associação a espessamento septal intralobular também devem suscitar a exclusão de outras etiologias, como infecções virais ou por Pneumocystis jiroveci , ( 16 ) hemorragia alveolar, congestão pulmonar e toxicidade a drogas pelo uso concomitante do metotrexato.…”
