    Abstract:
    A case of pleuropulmonary manifestation as the first symptom of rheumatoid arthritis is reported; articular involvement followed at a later stage. Pleuropulmonary localisation of rheumatoid arthritis is varied and infrequent; it is seldom the first manifestation of illness. This case was particular because isolated pleuropulmonary symptom appeared in a subject negative rheumatoid factor. The patient improved after initial NSAIDS treatment, followed by corticosteroids and NSAIDS together, leading to the resolution of clinical and x-ray symptoms.
