Abstract
The most severe systemic manifestations of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) include interstitial lung disease, which can become a symptomatic feature of the disease. With the development of pulmonary damage in RA patients, the range of differential diagnosis should include the point of toxic effects of methotrexate used for RA treatment, as well as infectious diseases, in particular tuberculosis. The presented case demonstrates the difficulties of pulmonary lesions’ differential diagnosis in RA patients.
