Dermatomyositis

Zeitschrift für Rheumatologie, 2009
Dermatomyositis (DM) is a systemic inflammatory disease involving skin, muscles and other organs. Immunologically mediated inflammation of small vessels leads to vascular damage, especially of the muscular tissue. Typically DM presents clinically with DM-type local or generalized rash and proximal muscular weakness. Laboratory signs of muscular damage (

Dermatomyositis

Seminars in Cutaneous Medicine and Surgery, 2001
Dermatomyositis is a disease that has a characteristic skin eruption that may occur with or without a proximal myopathy. The disease with cutaneous features only is classified as amyopathic dermatomyositis. The origin is unknown, but autoimmune factors are believed to play an important role.

Juvenile Dermatomyositis

Zeitschrift für Rheumatologie, 2006
Juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM) is an inflammatory multi-system disease of unknown etiology with classic involvement of the skin and striated muscles. Following a prodromal period, patients develop a progressive proximal muscle weakness. Typical skin involvement includes heliotrope rash, facial erythema, Gottron's sign and nailfold capillary ...

Juvenile dermatomyositis

The Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 1996
The clinical profile of 7 children and their follow-up is described. There was female preponderance with mate to female ratio of 1:6. The median age of onset was 6 years. All the patients had skin rash, muscle weakness and abnormal enzyme profile. Muscle biopsy was performed in 6 and was abnormal in all of them.

Juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM) is a systemic, inflammatory, idiopathic disease, mainly affecting the skin and the muscles, starting before the age of 16, with an incidence around one case per 1 million children. Some patients display typical features of JDM without skin involvement, or even without muscle involvement; however, both tissues are affected

Juvenile Dermatomyositis

Rheumatic Disease Clinics of North America, 1991
Juvenile dermatomyositis is a relatively rare, multisystem disease characterized by a nonsuppurative myositis which causes symmetrical weakness, rash and vasculitis; this last can affect the gastrointestinal tract and the myocardium. Late development of calcinosis is seen in approximately two thirds of patients.

Amyopathic dermatomyositis

Current Rheumatology Reports, 2001
Amyopathic dermatomyositis is a variant of dermatomyositis that is characterized by the typical skin rash but without the muscle abnormalities. It has been proposed that the amyopathic and myopathic forms of dermatomyositis exist on a continuum, a concept that is supported by family and genetic studies and the observation that a small proportion of ...

Update: Dermatomyositis

Der Hautarzt, 2010
Dermatomyositis is an idiopathic inflammatory myopathy and an "orphan disease" (incidence 1:100,000). It comprises a heterogenous clinical spectrum with periorbital heliotrope erythema, acral Gottron papules, and proximal muscle weakness. Muscle-specific antibody profiles correlate with clinical variants.

Juvenile Dermatomyositis

Pediatric Clinics of North America, 1986
Myositis in childhood is characterized by elevated serum levels of muscle-derived enzymes, proximal symmetrical muscle weakness, abnormal EMG findings, and a muscle biopsy, which frequently documents an inflammatory process. In the pediatric age group, JDMS, which has characteristic cutaneous involvement in addition to myositis, is much more common ...
