Adult dermatomyositis

Description

Adult dermatomyositis is a systemic inflammatory disorder affecting the skeletal muscles, the skin, and other organs. It is characterised by symmetric proximal muscle weakness, increased serum muscle enzymes, myopathic changes upon electromyography, typical histological findings on muscle biopsy, and typical dermatologic manifestations such as heliotrope rash or Gottron’s papules.
