Juvenile polymyositis with PM-Scl auto-antibody – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/999991807

Juvenile polymyositis with PM-Scl auto-antibody is a systemic autoimmune myopathy characterised by skeletal muscle weakness, typical rashes and other systemic features associated with anti-polymyositis-scleroderma PM-Scl autoantibodies. These autoantibodies are commonly seen in juvenile myositis overlapping with another autoimmune or connective tissue disease.
