Özet
At first presentation connective tissue diseases may mimic infectious diseases. But recurrent non-cadiac pulmonary edema accompanied by serious infectious signs is observed rarely. This patient presented with signs of pneumonia, and developed recurrent non-cadiac pulmonary edema, and had to be intubated despite appropriate treatment and Sjögren's syndrome was diagnosed after examinations and detailed history which were warranted by lack of treatment response. She was treated with hydroxychloroquine. This patient's problem was thought to be due to both findings of systemic involvement of connective tissue disease and increased frequency of infectious diseases in these patients.
