Abstract

A 67-year-old retired air force officer presented with a 6-month history of nonproductive cough, progressive exertional dyspnea, and weight loss. He was unable to walk beyond 100 m compared with his baseline of unlimited walking distance. He denied fever, hemoptysis, myalgia, or chest pain. He had a 30-year history of chronic plaque psoriasis with arthritis, which was managed by his dermatologist with emollients and vitamin D analogues. Joint involvement had previously been controlled with methotrexate, which was discontinued 15 years ago after resolution of his symptoms. He developed a polyarthritis flare a year ago, and adalimumab was initiated with good response.
