Rheumatism is an autoimmune disease, which generally refers to connective tissue disease. Interstitial pneumonia caused by connective tissue disease is generally not curable, but some patients can remain stable for a long period of time with standardized treatment.
Connective tissue diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and desiccation syndrome may result in multiple organ damage, sometimes leading to lung involvement, which can cause interstitial pneumonia. As connective tissue diseases are usually incurable, interstitial pneumonias caused by connective tissue diseases cannot be completely cured.
After systematic, standardized and individualized treatment, interstitial pneumonia caused by connective tissue disease can effectively slow down the progression of the disease and achieve clinical stability, so it is recommended to consult a hospital in time.
