Resumo

As complicações respiratórias do lúpus eritematoso sistémico (LES) podem atingir cada elemento do aparelho respiratório, sendo relativamente frequentes como manifestação inicial desta patologia e ocorrendo em 60–80% dos doentes durante o curso da doença. Os autores relatam o caso de uma doente lúpica com uma manifestação respiratória raramente reconhecida, cuja abordagem diagnóstica e tratamento ainda representam um desafio clínico.
