Objectives: is to evaluate the Patterns of pulmonary manifestations in ILDs in rheumatoid arthritis
Patients and methods: This is cross-sectional study was conducted at Qena university hospital, South Valley University, Qena through evaluation of 50 rheumatoid arthritis patients were selected from those attending the outpatient clinic and those admitted in the inpatients of Physical Medicine, Rheumatology and Rehabilitation Department at Qena University Hospital.
Results: Mean morning stiffness is 42.2 ± 18.77 minute and the most prevalent symptom presented was subcutaneous nodules (60%) followed by dryness of the mouth (16%).
