Abstract
Anti-MDA-5 dermatomyositis (DM) is a subtype of idiopathic inflammatory myopathy, commonly presenting as clinically amyopathic dermatomyositis. It is associated with rapidly progressive interstitial lung disease and a poor prognosis. Here, we present two cases of anti-MDA-5 DM and discuss the challenges associated with timely diagnosis, and the importance of early and aggressive treatment.
