“…The use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and oral or intrapleural steroids has been described in intractable cases. 7 In a minority of patients, the pleural involvement is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. 8 There is little in the literature about whether the onset of pleural disease is an indication that a patient's rheumatoid arthritis will worsen.…”

“…Typical findings include low pH (< 7.3), low glucose level (< 3.3 mmol/L), elevated lactate dehydrogenase level (> 700 U/L) and rheumatoid factor (if the rheumatoid arthritis is seropositive). 7,9 The parietal pleura has been found to show characteristic features on thoracoscopic and histologic examination. 6 In our patient, the tissue from the pleural biopsy was examined carefully several times, and only nonspecific inflammatory changes were found.…”

“…Rheumatoid pleural disease is more common in men [46]. Though pleural effusions are described in 3-5% of patients with rheumatoid arthritis, evidence of abnormalities on chest radiographs are much more common [47]. Pleural effusions associated with rheumatoid arthritis are typically painless, characterised as exudates and have a low pH and glucose and may, therefore, be confused with pleural infection.…”

“…Systemic lupus erythematosus may give rise to pleural effusions directly through lupus pleuritis or through a secondary process such as renal disease, heart failure or pulmonary embolism [47]. Pleural effusions caused by lupus typically have a higher glucose level compared with those associated with rheumatoid arthritis and may cause significant chest pain as part of the serositis syndrome.…”

The management of benign non-infective pleural effusions

The evidence base concerning the management of benign pleural effusions has lagged behind that of malignant pleural effusions in which recent randomised trials are now informing current clinical practice and international guidelines.The causes of benign pleural effusions are broad, heterogenous and patients may benefit from individualised management targeted at both treating the underlying disease process and direct management of the fluid. Pleural effusions are very common in a number of non-malignant pathologies, such as decompensated heart failure, and following coronary artery bypass grafting. Pleural fluid analysis forms an important basis of the diagnostic evaluation, and more specific assays and imaging modalities are helpful in specific subpopulations.Options for management beyond treatment of the underlying disorder, whenever possible, include therapeutically aspirating the fluid, talc pleurodesis and insertion of an indwelling pleural catheter. Randomised trials will inform clinicians in the future as to the risks and benefits of these options providing a guide as to how best to manage patient symptoms in this challenging clinical setting. @ERSpublications Benign pleural effusion management is challenging and based on limited evidence. Treatment options are discussed http://ow.ly/10EOSN

SummaryRheumatoid arthritis is the most commonly encountered inflammatory joint disease, affecting nearly 1% of the adult population. Extra-articular manifestations are the major cause of morbidity and mortality. Rheumatoid arthritis associated lung diseases are responsible for %10-20 of all mortality. Although pulmonary infection and drug toxicity are frequent, lung parenchyma, airways and the pleural involvement which are directly associated with underlying rheumatoid arthritis are more common. A review of the lung diseases with a prominence on airway involvement, pleural effusion and parenchymal lung disease has been presented here.
