1. Conclusion The first manifestation of juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM) which can result in calcinosis late in the course of the disease is cutaneous disease.

2. Methods: 25 patients with dermatomyositis and malignant tumors were retrospectively analysed.

3. We present a case of dermatomyositis with keratotic scabies in the scalp.

4. In patients with polymyositis and dermatomyositis, acute abdomen is attributed to intestinal vasculitis causing ischemia, ulceration or perforation.

5. Seborrheic dermatitis and flare - up of dermatomyositis were impressed initially.

6. Objectives To investigate pathological features in juvenile dermatomyositis, especially microangiopathy in skin and skeletal muscles.

7. The Clinical Manifestations of polymyositis and dermatomyositis vary greatly. It is more difficult to distinguish the mild cases from others.

8. Objective To investigate the life threatening factors of dermatomyositis ( DM ) complicated by neoplastic disease.

9. Results:The case of penicilliposis marneffei was misdiagnosed as atypical tuberculous arthritis, dermatomyositis, polyarteritis nodosa.

10. Erythema, edema, and a purple (heliotrope) discoloration of the eyelids are indicative of dermatomyositis.

11. Objective To discuss the therapeutic effect of prednisone plus methotrexate(MTX) on polymyositis(PM) and dermatomyositis(DM).

12. Objective : To investigate the clinical and EMG features in patients with polymyositis ( PM ) and dermatomyositis ( DM ).

13. Objective:To study the difference of electromyography(EMG) and muscle enzyme(ME) in the progression of polymyositis(PM) and dermatomyositis(DM).

14. Objective To study the pathology, the pathogenesis, the effect of treatment and the prognosis of polymyositis and dermatomyositis.

15. Objective: To investigate the status of activation and apoptosis of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) in patients with polymyositis (PM) and dermatomyositis (DM).

16. Of course, many more, such as Scleroderma , Sjogren's syndrome, Vasculitis , Myositis(includes polymyositis and dermatomyositis), Tennis Elbow , Frozen Shoulder, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome,[/dermatomyositis.html] and so on .

17. Objective: To explore the clinical features of patients with polymyositis (PM) and dermatomyositis (DM) to provide evidence for clinical diagnosis, treatment and prognostic evaluation.

18. Several immune system cell types and processes have been recently identified in muscle in inclusion body myositis, dermatomyositis, and polymyositis .

19. Erythema, edema and a purple discoloration of the eyelids are of dermatomyositis.

20. Autoimmune diseases and collagen diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus, dermatomyositis, scleroderma, and so on.

21. It is important to measure muscle enzymes and 24-hours urine creatine for the evaluation of internal organ involvement, treatment and prognosis in dermatomyositis.

22. Results Of the 146 patients confirmed with polymyositis and dermatomyositis, 107(73.29%) visited Department of Dermatology first, while only 4(2.74%) visited Department of Nephrology first.

23. Panniculitis is an exceedingly rarely reported clinical finding in dermatomyositis (DM) with a total of only 18 cases reported in the literature.

24. Analysing the data of the clinical manifestations, biochemical tests, electromyographes and muscular biopsies, the authors proposed the diagnostic criteria of polymyositis and dermatomyositis.
