Abstract
Interstitial lung disease (ILD) has been considered as an unusual pulmonary manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus. Patients of ILD usually present with progressive dry cough and exertional dyspnea. ILD is usually seen in long standing SLE patients and follows a chronic course. ILD as the initial manifestation of SLE is very rare. Our middle aged female patient presented with pulmonary symptoms, renal impairment and arthralgia. She was finally diagnosed as having SLE by relevant autoantibody profile and renal biopsy along with HRCT proven ILD.
