Nailfold videocapillaroscopy in antisynthetase syndrome
A 57-year-old woman with a diagnosis of antisynthetase syndrome (ASSD) underwent a nailfold videocapillaroscopy (NVC) showing a scleroderma pattern. Alterations in capillary morphology have been reported in adults with inflammatory myositis (IM) but only

The antisynthetase syndrome [PDF]
Antisynthetase syndrome is an autoimmune disease affecting multiple organ systems that was first described as a triad of polymyositis, interstitial lung disease, and the presence of autoantibodies to aminoacyl-transfer ribonucleic acid synthetases. We describe a patient who developed respiratory symptoms following fume exposures. Following a prednisone

The Antisynthetase Syndrome [PDF]
The antisynthetase syndrome (ASS) was first described by Marguerie and coworkers in 1990 as a triad of polymyositis, diffuse interstitial lung disease (ILD) and serum autoantibodies to aminoacyl transfer RNA synthetases (anti-ARS) (1). Later, cohort studies have indicated that 20-25 % of patients diagnosed with polymyositis (PM) or dermatomyositis (DM)

Antisynthetase Syndrome With Paraneoplastic Antibodies. [PDF]
Antisynthetase syndrome (ASyS) is an uncommon systemic autoimmune disorder characterized by the presence of autoantibodies targeting aminoacyl-transfer RNA (tRNA) synthetase. The syndrome displays a diverse range of clinical manifestations affecting multiple organs, thereby posing a diagnostic challenge.
