Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is the leading cause of death in systemic sclerosis (SSc). Although early identification and treatment of alveolitis may prevent deterioration of lung function, the best approach for diagnosing active alveolitis remains controversial. This study was undertaken to investigate the utility of high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) of the chest, in comparison with bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL), in the diagnosis of alveolitis in these patients.
