Overview of systemic diseases causing interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) and their associated antibodies. Conditions associated with a predominant NSIP pattern on HRCTs include Myositis-associated ILD (antisynthetase syndrome, anti-RO52 positive overlap myositis, or RP-ILD), Systemic Sclerosis, primary Sjögren's syndrome, and rarely, Systemic Lupus Erythematosus. In SSc, a UIP pattern may also be commonly found. RA-ILD frequently shows a UIP pattern and confers a guarded prognosis. An NSIP pattern may also be encountered on HRCTs. ACPA, anti-citrullinated peptide antibodies; ARS, aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase antibodies; CTD, connective tissue disease; HRCT, high-resolution computed tomography; MDA5; melanocyte-differentiation antigen 5; Myo, myositis; NSIP, non-specific interstitial pneumonia; Pm/Scl, polymyositis-scleroderma; pSS; primary Sjögren's syndrome; RA, rheumatoid arthritis; RF, rheumatoid factor; RNA Pol III, RNA polymerase III; RP, rapidly progressive; Scl70, topoisomerase I; SLE, systemic lupus erythematosus, Sm, Smith; SRP, signal recognition particle; SSc, systemic sclerosis; U1-snRNP, U1 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein; UIP, usual interstitial pneumonia.
