This paper reviews the pulmonary manifestations of systemic lupus erythematosus with particular focus on comparing global and Saudi Arabian populations. Dozens of articles addressing lupus complications in Saudi patients were published in recent years; to our knowledge, this is the first review focusing on pulmonary complications. In this narrative literature review, we conducted a systematic search of MEDLINE and Google Scholar using the words pulmonary complications of systemic lupus in Saudi Arabia. Th e search covered the period between 2000 and 2019. We found that the rate of pulmonary complications in Saudi lupus patients was consistent with that in global patients; exceptionally higher incidence of acute lupus pneumonitis was reported in Saudi patients. We hope that this study will inform clinicians about the important points regarding pulmonary complications in lupus patients, particularly in the Saudi population.

Lupus Pneumonitis

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune connective tissue disease that is characterized by a multisystemic involvement and various clinical manifestations. Pulmonary manifestations occur in approximately 50% of patients. One of the rare and mortal complications is lupus pneumonitis. Very few cases have been reported due to its rarity and diagnostic challenge. It must be suspected in case of non-response to conventional treatment for pneumonia. We describe the case of a 29-year-old man with lupus pneumonitis as the initial presentation of systemic lupus erythematosus.

Life Threatening

The pulmonary manifestations of systemic lupus erythematosus can range in severity from mild to life threatening and can be particularly marked in women who are recently postpartum. We present below a seventeen-year-old female patient, one month postpartum, who had findings consistent with an acute infectious pneumonia whom upon further query and passage of time was diagnosed with severe pneumonitis due to systemic lupus erythematosus.
