Abstract
|
|
|
Dermatomyositis is an inflammatory muscular disease of presumed autoimmune origin. Many possible interventions are available to treat patients with these conditions including corticosteroids, immunosuppressive drugs, plasmaphersis, and total body
irradiation. But these therapies are not always effective, and they may be associated with certain serious side effects. Recently polyvalent intravenous gammaglobulin(IVGG) has been tried with success in inflammatory myopathies after failure of
traditional treatment.
We report a 8-year-old female patient with juvenile dermatomyositis who improved dramatically after alternative IVGG treatment due to side effects of steroid. (Kor J Dermatol 1996;34(4) : 656~659)
