Brief Summary:

Rheumatoid arthritis is a genuine systemic disease associated with diffuse interstitial pneumopathy and bronchial disorders. According to the literature review, the prevalence of PID on thoracic CT scan is one-third of patients. Diffuse interstitial pneumopathy is responsible for a significant morbidity and mortality, is currently under-diagnosed and its treatment is poorly codified. The lung seems to have a central role in the genesis of rheumatoid arthritis. It also appears that some subtypes of anti citrullinated peptide antibodies are preferentially present in the lungs.

The hypothesis behind our project is that one or more subtypes of anti citrullinated peptide antibodies with a preferential tropism for the lung would attack the parenchyma and pulmonary airways.

Currently, there are no data on interstitial pneumopathy in black and Afro-Caribbean subjects with rheumatoid arthritis.
