摘要
Pneumonitis is emerging as one of the most unpredictable and potentially serious, adverse effects of treatment with MTX. Its prevalence in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has been estimated from several retrospective and prospective studies to range from 0.3% to 18%. On the other hand, MTX-induced pneumonitis seems to be very rare in psoriatic arthritis (PsA).
