Abstract: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a systemic, inflammatory disorder with a predilection for young women. A wide array of pulmonary manifestations can occur in patients with SLE, including interstitial lung disease. In this review, we will discuss the scope, pathogenesis, management, and prognosis, along with the clinical and pathologic features of SLE-associated ILD (SLE-ILD).
