Autoimmune connective tissue diseases

Best Practice & Research Clinical Obstetrics & Gynaecology, 2015
Rheumatic diseases (RDs) occur preferentially in women, often during the childbearing age. The interaction of pregnancy and the RD is varied, ranging from spontaneous improvement to aggravation of disease symptoms or life-threatening flares. Risks for the mother with RD and the child differ in regard to the presence of organ manifestations, organ ...

Connective Tissue Disease–related Thoracic Disease

Clinics in Chest Medicine, 2015
Pulmonary involvement is a frequent manifestation of connective tissue disease (CTD)-related thoracic disease. It is important to characterize the underlying pattern when pulmonary involvement occurs in a patient with CTD, and to exclude other causes.

Mixed connective tissue disease

Lupus, 2006
Mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD) was first described in 1972 as a disease syndrome with overlapping features of systemic sclerosis, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and polymyositis associated with antibodies to RNAse sensitive extractable nuclear antigen.

Connective Tissue Disease–Associated Lung Disease

Immunology and Allergy Clinics of North America, 2012
This article provides a broad overview of the complex intersection between the connective tissue diseases (CTDs) and their pulmonary manifestations. Indirect pulmonary complications - such as respiratory infection and medication-induced lung toxicity - are briefly discussed, and the importance of a comprehensive assessment of the patient with CTD with ...

Mixed Connective Tissue Disease

2008
Mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD) is a condition characterized by the overlap of features of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), systemic sclerosis (SSc) and polydermatomyositis (PM/DM) in association with high titers of antibodies against a ribonuclear protein (RNP).

Mixed Connective Tissue Disease

Radiologic Clinics of North America, 1988
MCTD is characterized by clinical features that overlap those of several of the classic rheumatic and connective tissue disorders. Although MCTD has been distinguished from them by the presence of antibodies to an RNP and by specific immunoregulatory T cell circuit abnormalities, its definitive placement among the classic disorders remains ...

Pleural Diseases in Connective Tissue Diseases

Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine
AbstractConnective tissue diseases (CTD) are heterogeneous, immune-mediated inflammatory disorders often presenting with multiorgan involvement. With the advent of high-resolution computed tomography, CTD-related pleuritis—pleural thickening and effusion—is now increasingly recognized early in the disease trajectory.
