Objective: To examine the course of interstitial lung disease associated with rheumatoid arthritis (RA-ILD) in France on treatment with Janus kinase inhibitors (JAKis) using the MAJIK-SFR registry.
Methods: Prospective national multicentre observational study identifying patients with RA-ILD from the MAJIK-SFR registry. Pulmonary assessment data were collected at JAKi initiation and follow-up visits (6 months, 12 months and a median of 21 months postinclusion), including chest high-resolution CT (HRCT), pulmonary function tests (forced vital capacity (FVC) and diffusing capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide (DLCO)), acute exacerbations of ILD, respiratory infections and lung cancers.

Twenty four pleural aspergilloses developed on post-operative residual cavities, particularly after pulmonary exeresis and not only for aspergilloma; 11 forms were apparently primitive after therapeutical pneumothorax; 3 anatomo-clinical forms were found, aspergillomas and pyothoraxes were the most frequent. Pleural involvement can be associated to pulmonary, even bronchial involvement.
