  • Title: [Influence of female sex on the respiratory manifestations of connective tissue disease].
    Author: Benveniste O, Herson S.
    Journal: Rev Pneumol Clin; 1999 Oct; 55(5):301-6. PubMed ID: 10637898.
    Abstract:
    Connective tissue diseases predominating in females include disseminated lupus erythematosus, antiphospholipid syndrome, primary pulmonary hypertension, Sjögren's syndrome, and rheumatoid arthritis. Pulmonary involvement is not uncommon and clinical expression may be modified by pregnancy. In addition, a certain number of drugs used for their treatment have an effect on fertility and pregnancy. We review here these different aspects and female-specific diagnostic and therapeutic features of connective tissue diseases.
