Association of combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema in rheumatoid arthritis with high titer of rheumatoid factor and autoimmunity to the lung
This study is the first to demonstrate the association of RA-CPFE with high titer of RF and the presence of autoantibodies against HBEC, suggesting a link between autoimmunity to the lung and RA-CPFE.
