Dermatomyositis is an autoimmune disease characterized by specific skin manifestations and heterogeneous clinical features. Myositis-specific autoantibodies are associated with distinct clinical features, including severity of myopathy, potential complications of interstitial lung disease, possible association with malignancies, and characteristic cutaneous manifestations in adult and juvenile patients.
Dermatomyositis is one of the idiopathic inflammatory myopathies, which is characterized with specific skin manifestations, and considered as an autoimmune disease. Dermatomyositis is a heterogeneous disorder with various presences, severities and characteristics of myositis, dermatitis, and interstitial lung disease. Our and others' data showed that myositis-specific autoantibodies have been associated with distinct clinical features. This article reviewed the epidemiology and characteristic clinical features of the different types of antibody-associated dermatomyositis in adult and juvenile patients, which include the severity of myopathy, the potential complication of interstitial lung disease, potential association with malignancies, and characteristic cutaneous manifestations.
