MESA, Miguel et al. Interstitial lung disease as initial manifestation of anti-synthetase syndrome. Rev.Colomb.Reumatol. [online]. 2010, vol.17, n.4, pp.249-256. ISSN 0121-8123.

We report a patient with antisintetase síndrome with rapid and progressive interstitial difuse pulmonary disease preceding the muscular weakness. The patient was successfully treated with steroids, cyclophosphamide and azathioprine. The initial compromise: fever, dispnoea and pulmonary infiltrates without miopathy was misdiagnosed as pneumonia.

Palavras-chave : inflamatory miopathy; interstitial pulmonary disease; antisintetase syndrome.
