Excerpt

Juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM) is a multisystemic disease of children that affects primarily muscle and skin. The prevalence of pulmonary involvement is not well known but seems to be rarer than in adult patients with dermatomyositis/polymyositis (DM/PM) [1‐3]. A wide spectrum of clinical presentations have been described, ranging from asymptomatic patients with merely abnormal pulmonary function tests [4] to severe, potentially fatal cases refractory to immunosuppressive and supportive therapy [5-9]. Here we present the case of a child with JDM and severe interstitial lung disease (ILD) successfully treated with immunosuppressive drugs and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). …
