“…Changes in the lungs of patients with r-heumatoid arthritis have been reported by several authors (Ellman and BaIl, 1948 ; Leys and Swift, 1949 ;Bloomand Rubin, 1950;Christie, 1954). Pleurisy with effusion in the absence of any evidence of a lesion in the lung is much less well recognized.…”

“…Comment.-On purely clinical grounds, it was impossible to distinguish the manifestations of disseminated lupus erythematosus (without lupus) in this Negro from either polyarthritis attributable to sarcoidosis, of which ten cases are described in the world literature (Myers and others, 1952), or from rheumatoid arthritis with pulmonary lesions, of which but five published cases have been directly reported (Ellman and Ball, 1948;Bloom and Rubini, 1950;Leys and Swift, 1949). One difference from sarcoidosis appeared in retrospect, i.e.…”

Two patients were seen recently with distinctive pulmonary parenchymal lesions due to disseminated lupus erythematosus. The more classic manifestations such as skin lesions, carditis, polyserositis, and nephritis, were not at first apparent, but typical L.E. cells were demonstrated in the peripheral blood of both patients, and the diagnosis was confirmed by further study. This prompted us to review the published descriptions of the pulmonary manifestations of this disease and to observe in our patients the clinical effects of adrenocortical hormone therapy upon the lung lesions.

“…In a small number of cases the diagnosis was made by lung biopsy (Rubin, 1955;Ellman, 1956;Flatley, 1959;Hortler and Thompson, 1959;Ognibene, 1960;Robertson and Brinkman, 1961). More often the diagnosis has been only clinical (Ellman and Ball, 1948;Hart, 1948;Schlesinger, 1949 ;Ellman and Weber, 1949;Leys and Swift, 1949;Bloom and Rubin, 1950;Middleton. 19)51 ;Stolte, 1952;Harris, 1954;Rubin, 1955;Spence, 1955;Ellman, 1956;Horler and Thompson, 1959).…”
