Abstract:
OBJECTIVES:To report 2 patients with systemic lupus erythematosus and typical shrinking lung syndrome (SLS) in which pleuritic chest pain was the predominant symptom. In addition, to record the prevalence of pleuritic chest pain in all reported cases of patients with SLS and diaphragmatic dysfunction. METHODS:We conducted a comprehensive search of the English literature to record the association of pleurisy and SLS in all reported cases using the MEDLINE database from 1965 to present. RESULTS:Of the 77 patients with SLS reported in the literature, 50 (65%) patients had pleuritic chest pain at the time of evaluation. Treatment with anti-inflammatory agents improved symptoms in the majority of cases. CONCLUSIONS:Pleuritic inflammation and pain may have an important role in the pathogenesis of SLS. A possible mechanism linking pleural inflammation and diaphragm dysfunction may be via a reflex inhibition of diaphragmatic activation.
