Abstract:
In the National Institute of Pediatric were studied 35 patients with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, in a prospective form, in order to asses pulmonary manifestations. Arthritis had between 5 months to five years of clinical evolution. The radiologic patterns of the lung correlated well with respiratory tests, without correlation with pulmonary gammagram which was normal in all the cases. Symptoms were not characteristic of any type of pulmonary lesion.
