Journal Title: Ege Tıp Dergisi - Year 2016, Vol 55, Issue 1
Abstract
Dermatomiyozitis (DM) is an idiopathic inflammatory myopathy and a rare connective tissue disease which is characterized by skin lesions. Diagnosis of DM requires a characteristic rash and other criteria, such as proximal muscle weakness and muscle enzyme level elevation. In this paper we present a twenty-six-year-old man who attended with muscle weakness, typical skin manifestations and providing a dramatic response to IVIG treatment of dermatomyositis.
