摘要

Clinical features, chest X-rays and pulmonary function tests correlated poorly with high-resolution computerised tomography (HRCT).Smoking, environmental toxins, gastro-oesophogeal reflux and previous pulmonary tuberculosis infection were significant comorbidities in CTD-ILD patients.Early screening of ILD with HRCT is recommended, particularly in SSc.Use of MTX before and after ILD diagnosis was not associated with acute pneumonitis.
