NIH Rare Diseases: Dermatomyositis is one of a group of acquired muscle diseases called inflammatory myopathies (disorder of muscle tissue or muscles), which are characterized by chronic muscle inflammation accompanied by muscle weakness. The cardinal symptom is a skin rash that precedes or accompanies progressive muscle weakness. Dermatomyositis may occur at any age, but is most common in adults in their late 40s to early 60s, or children between 5 and 15 years of age. There is no cure for dermatomyositis, but the symptoms can be treated. Options include medication, physical therapy, exercise, heat therapy (including microwave and ultrasound), orthotics and assistive devices, and rest. The cause of dermatomyositis is unknown.30
MalaCards: Dermatomyositis, also known as polymyositis with skin involvement, is related to childhood type dermatomyositis and adult dermatomyositis. An important gene associated with Dermatomyositis is GARS (glycyl-tRNA synthetase), and among its related pathways are Graft-versus-host disease and RAR-Gamma-RXR-Alpha Degradation. The drugs globulin,immune (iv) and potassium para-aminobenzoate and the compounds cyclophosphamide and glucose have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include muscle or, heart and lung, and related mouse phenotypes are respiratory system and renal/urinary system. Disease Ontology: A myositis that results in inflammation located in muscle or located in skin. the disease may result from either a viral infection or an autoimmune reaction.6 NINDS: Dermatomyositis is one of a group of muscle diseases known as the inflammatory myopathies, which are characterized by chronic muscle inflammation accompanied by muscle weakness. 31 Wikipedia: Dermatomyositis (DM) is a connective-tissue disease related to polymyositis (PM) that is characterized...44 more... |
