Initial Symptoms

The etiology of bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia (BOOP) remains controversial. While it has been reportedly associated with several connective tissue disorders, there are only rare reports of BOOP associated with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Herein, we report a 56-year-old female patient who presented with dyspnea on exertion, cough, fever, and joint pain of her left wrist and fingers as initial symptoms. Laboratory tests revealed positivity for anti-nuclear antibody, anti-Ro, and anti-double strand DNA antibody. In this case, the patient with SLE had respiratory illness as the initial symptom due to BOOP in the absence of clear etiology. The diagnosis of BOOP was confirmed by thoracic surgery biopsy. Her respiratory symptoms and radiologic findings significantly improved following prednisolone treatment.

First Line Treatment

Organizing pneumonia is an inflammatory lung entity that presents with a huge variety of clinical, radiological and pathological patterns. Organizing pneumonia can be idiopathic or secondary to other diseases. Corticosteroid therapy is usually the first-line treatment showing clinical improvement in most cases. This report presents the case of a 56-year-old woman with systemic lupus erythematosus who was diagnosed with an organizing pneumonia and showed a poor response to steroid and azathioprine treatment. We considered the use of belimumab, which resulted in excellent clinical and radiological outcomes.
