Abstract
The present study demonstrated that features of pulmonary involvement were similar to those in the ARS(+)PM/DM-ILD group; however, some differences including HRCT findings and higher KL-6 levels suggest that ARS(+)IIP has severe ILD compared with ARS(+)PM/DM-ILD. Further prospective studies with a larger number of patients will elucidate the exact role of anti-ARS antibodies in IIPs.
