We observed that subclinical lung involvement is not rare in patients with IM associated with positive anti-NXP2 Ab, with various radiological patterns and a significant lung function defect. Such data deserve to be known by the pulmonologist in order to perform a complete lung screening in all patients with positive anti-NXP2 antibody and to detect earlier a concomitant lung impairment.
