Autoimmunity against cytokines: Double strike in autoimmune disease, a historical perspective
Autoimmune responses are characterized by the development of antibodies and the activation of T lymphocytes against self-antigens. This leads to an effector immune response against tissues expressing antigens, which are later recognized by the host ...

Juvenile Dermatomyositis Triggered by Influenza B: A Case Report on Viral‐Induced Autoimmunity
ABSTRACT A previously healthy 13‐year‐old boy developed juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM) shortly after a confirmed influenza B infection, presenting with progressive proximal muscle weakness and classic cutaneous findings. Laboratory tests revealed elevated muscle enzymes and myositis‐specific autoantibodies, supporting the diagnosis.
