چکیده
Methods 25 JDM patients followed at the Pediatric Rheumatology Unit of our tertiary University Hospital were compared to 25 healthy controls according to demographic data, fasting lipoproteins, glycemia and insulin, anti-LPL antibodies and muscle enzymes. All patients were evaluated by the same pediatric rheumatologist in order to evaluate the following JDM scores: Disease Activity Score (DAS), Childhood Myositis Assessment Scale(CMAS), Manual Muscle Testing(MMT), Myositis Disease Activity Assessment Analogue Scale(MYOACT) and Myositis Intention To Treat Activity Index (MYTAX).

Provisional hypomyopathic juvenile dermatomyositis is a subgroup of clinically amyopathic juvenile dermatomyositis provisional. The diagnostic criteria include: Classic dermatomyositis skin lesions – which have to be confirmed by biopsy –, no involvement of proximal muscles, subclinical involvement of these muscles and normal level of muscle enzymes. These criteria should be present for a minim...

Introduction Juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM) affects 3 children/million/ year with myositis and skin disease being the typical features. PRINTO have recently established criteria to classify JDM patients who are clinically inactive by meeting at least 3 out of the following 4 conditions – CK ≤150, CMAS ≥48, MMT8 ≥78 and physician global VAS (PGA) ≤0.2. CK, CMAS and MMT8 all measure muscle involv...

Results Overall, Treg number and phenotype of JDM patients was similar to age-matched controls. While JDM patients had increased numbers of Treg during active disease compared to remission, this increase was only found in JDM patients treated with high doses of corticosteroids. Treg of remitting JDM patients, but not of all active JDM patients were able to suppress effector T cell activation in...
