Pulmonary function was studied in 13 cases of rheumatoid disease and eight of systemic lupus erythematosus associated with roentgenographic evidence of pulmonary involvement. The most common abnormality noted was a reduction of lung volumes associated frequently with arterial oxygen unsaturation. These changes posibly were due to pleural effusion, restrictive pleuritis, parenchymal involvement, or any combination of these. Corticosteroid administration was attended by variable results.
