Clinical features of anti-melanoma differentiation-associated gene 5 antibody-positive dermatomyositis with macrophage activation syndrome
CONCLUSIONS: Among anti-MDA5-positive DM, Infection, DM typical rashes, and higher serum levels of ferritin, AST, LDH, and CK were more common in patients complicated with MAS. The mortality of patients with MAS was high, particularly among patients who were older, given more combination therapy with TOF, and had RP-ILD, infection, heart failure and renal impairment.PMID:38147318 | DOI:10.55563/clinexprheumatol/2537nv (Source: Clinical and Experimental Rheumatology)

The clinical characteristics of subcutaneous and mediastinal emphysema in anti-melanoma differentiation-associated 5 positive dermatomyositis associated with interstitial lung disease
CONCLUSIONS: 1. SE/ME is not uncommon in anti-MDA5-positive DM-ILD and is an important factor associated with poor patient prognosis. 2. The occurrence of SE/ME is correlated with high levels of serum ferritin and is not related to anti-Ro-52 antibodies. 3. Rheumatologists should pay close attention to SE/ME caused by positive pressure ventilation in anti-MDA5-positive DM-ILD patients.PMID:38147317 | DOI:10.55563/clinexprheumatol/84kd56 (Source: Clinical and Experimental Rheumatology)

A rare case of cutaneous lupus erythematosus presenting with periorbital erythema and edema
In conclusion, it should be kept in mind that periorbital erythema can develop as a rare variant of CLE and can be misdiagnosed as contact dermatitis, dermatomyositis, sarcoidosis, or cutaneous lymphoma. Additionally, the ANA and anti-dsDNA antibodies are often found to be negative in these cases. In establishing the diagnosis, firstly considering the disease, followed by histopathological examinations and laboratory tests, is crucial.PMID:38148123 | DOI:10.1177/09612033231224767 (Source: Lupus)

Anti-EJ antibody-positive interstitial pneumonia with breast cancer improved by combining immunosuppressive therapy and chemotherapy
We present a case of a 45-year-old woman diagnosed with interstitial pneumonia (IP) during a comprehensive breast cancer evaluation. Although the patient showed no obvious clinical symptoms of polymyositis or dermatomyositis, the presence of anti-glycyl-transfer ribonucleic acid synthetase antibodies confirmed anti-synthetase syndrome. The patient began methylprednisolone for treatment of the IP. She then received preoperative chemotherapy with epirubicin and cyclophosphamide before undergoing a mastectomy. A significant improvement was seen in the patient's IP during treatment. This case emphasizes the potential advantage...

Polymyositis following varicella and mumps infection in adults: report of two cases
The objective of this study is to describe the clinical features and the treatment strategy of 2 cases of polymyositis developing shortly after chickenpox and mumps, respectively, and to review the existing literature on the topic. The clinical records of the 2 patients suspected to have developed inflammatory myositis following a viral infection were reviewed. Their clinical history, main laboratory findings, and treatment outcome are presented here. Moreover, a literature search was performed in the PubMed and MEDLINE databases to identify reports describing the association between viral infections and IIMs in patients a...
