Dermatomyositis is one of the idiopathic inflammatory myopathies. It is characterized clinically by progressive symmetrical proximal muscle weakness and a characteristic rash. There are patients with rash who have little or no muscle disease. Although the process primarily attacks the skin and the muscles, it is a systemic disease with frequent ...

Dermatomyositis and toxoplasmosis
Annals of Neurology, 1979AbstractIn a patient with childhood dermatomyositis, high toxoplasma antibodies were found at the time of diagnosis. A direct immunofluorescence technique demonstrated active toxoplasmosis in the muscle biopsy. The response to treatment and follow‐up in this patient suggest that toxoplasmosis could have caused the dermatomyositis.

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.

The pathogenesis of dermatomyositis
British Journal of Dermatology, 2017This review looks at the many different factors thought to play a role in idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM), concentrating mainly on the dermatomyositis (DM) subtype. Subject areas addressed include looking at the different clinical features of IIM, paying particular attention to the skin manifestations.

AbstractBackground Mucin deposition is a common feature in autoimmune collagen diseases including dermatomyositis. Nevertheless, clinical manifestations of mucinosis are uncommon in patients with dermatomyositis. Two cases of mucinosis associated with dermatomyositis are reported.Patients A 53‐year‐old woman presented with symmetrical plaques on the ...

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.

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 ...
