紅斑性狼瘡併發急性感染、肺葉膨脹不全及嚴重限制性換氣不良病患之肺臟復健計畫：病例報告

Abstract

An exact identification among the subsets of pulmonary lupus is important in planning efficacious therapy. Asymptomatic pulmonary lupus needs no specific treatment, while prompt and aggressive treatment is mandatory for the potential life-threatening pulmonary version. We present a case of systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE)with lobar atelectasis and severely restricted lung impairment and illustrate how a pulmonary rehabilitation program aided therapy during the acute infectious episode. An individualized pulmonary rehabilitation program for SLE patients compromised with chest distress may thus be a prudent course of action.
