An autopsy case of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) with acute exacerbation of interstitial pneumonia is reported. A 57-year-old woman with longstanding RA was admitted to our hospital because of progressive dyspnea. On chest roentogenogram, diffuse interstitial shadow was confirmed in both lungs. Chest computed tomography (CT) showed diffuse lesion of elevated density of CT level in both lung. She was diagnosed as an acute exacerbation of interstitial pneumonia, and treated by methylpredonisolone pulse therapy (1,000 mg/day). Although cyclosporin A (2 mg/kg/day) was combined to steroid therapy, she was died of progressive respiratory failure. The histological findings of the lung showed extensive fibrosis with alveolar damage associated with hyaline membranes, edema and hemorrhage in alveolar space.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007166 Immunosuppressive Agents Agents that suppress immune function by one of several mechanisms of action. Classical cytotoxic immunosuppressants act by inhibiting DNA synthesis. Others may act through activation of T-CELLS or by inhibiting the activation of HELPER CELLS. While immunosuppression has been brought about in the past primarily to prevent rejection of transplanted organs, new applications involving mediation of the effects of INTERLEUKINS and other CYTOKINES are emerging.

D003524 Cyclosporins A group of closely related cyclic undecapeptides from the fungi Trichoderma polysporum and Cylindocarpon lucidum. They have some antineoplastic and antifungal action and significant immunosuppressive effects.
