Characteristics and risk of interstitial lung disease in dermatomyositis and polymyositis: a retrospective cohort study in Japan

Scientific Reports, 2023
Dermatomyositis and polymyositis are rare, idiopathic inflammatory myopathies. Interstitial lung disease is one of the most common and potentially severe extra-muscular manifestations of dermatomyositis and polymyositis and is strongly linked to poor ...

Association between a C8orf13-BLK polymorphism and polymyositis/dermatomyositis in the Japanese population: an additive effect with STAT4 on disease susceptibility. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
BACKGROUND:Accumulating evidence has shown that several non-HLA genes are involved in the susceptibility to polymyositis/dermatomyositis. This study aimed to investigate the involvement of C8orf13-BLK, one of the strongest candidate genes for autoimmune ...

Anti-RuvBL1/2 Antibodies in Scleromyositis: A Clinicopathological Report of Two Cases. [PDF]

ACR Open Rheumatol
We report two patients with scleromyositis with anti‐RuvBL1/2 antibodies, recently identified rare autoantibodies associated with older age at onset, diffuse sclerodactyly, skeletal and cardiac myositis, and interstitial lung disease (ILD). Both patients showed sclerodactyly and skeletal myositis.

The relationship between platelet distribution width and disease activity in patients with polymyositis

Rheumatology, 2022
Introduction Muscle enzymes are an indicator of ongoing muscle damage and disease activity in patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathy. Although platelet-related parameters have been shown to be useful as markers of disease activity in autoimmune ...

IL‐15 is a biomarker involved in the development of rapidly progressive interstitial lung disease complicated with polymyositis/dermatomyositis

Journal of Internal Medicine, 2020
Polymyositis/dermatomyositis (PM/DM) is an autoimmune disease that is sometimes complicated with rapidly progressive interstitial lung disease (RPILD). However, serum and lung biomarkers that can predict RPILD development remain unclear.

Risk Factors of Progression to Active Tuberculosis in Rheumatic Patients With Latent Tuberculosis: A Retrospective Study. [PDF]

Immun Inflamm Dis
ABSTRACT Background In rheumatism patients, the immune system erroneously attacks the body′s own tissues. This impairs the body′s defense against external pathogens and is a contributing factor to the occurrence of tuberculosis infection. The primary objective of this investigation was to examine the risk factors for the progression from latent ...

Acute respiratory distress syndrome relapsing in 10 months with an initial manifestation of polymyositis

Clinical Case Reports, 2021
Autoimmune disorders are an important cause of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). We report a case of a patient with steroid‐responsive ARDS that relapsed in 10 months with an initial manifestation of seronegative polymyositis.
