ABSTRACT
A 41 year old male with psoriatic arthritis developed progressive dyspnoea and airflow obstruction following 4 months of intramuscular gold therapy. Open lung biopsy revealed bronchiolitis obliterans of the constrictive type. This case suggests a possible aetiological role for gold in the pathogenesis of constrictive bronchiolitis obliterans, or alternatively an association between psoriatic arthritis and this inflammatory airway condition.
