Abstract

Dermatomyositis (DM) is a rare autoimmune disease characterized by classic cutaneous manifestations and proximal muscle inflammation. Clinical symptoms are improved in many patients on treatments, but some experiences relapse. No consensus exists regarding the definition of a DM relapse. In practice, a relapse is diagnosed when the symptoms recur or worsen after first improving under treatment. Published data on both prevalence and risk factors of relapse in DM is limited. The aim of this study was to evaluate the frequency of relapse in DM and identify factors predicting relapse in patients with non-paraneoplastic DM.
