dz: rash on extensor surfaces of knucles?
gottron's papules of dermatomyositis
dz: prominent nail fold capillaries?
dermatomyositis
dz: calcinosis poking through skin?
dermatomyositis
emg changes on dermatomyositis?
never reach maximum activity
lab changes in PM/dermatomyositis?
emg changes, muscle biopsy-de/regernation, lymphocyte infiltration,increased enzymes (CK,aldolasE), positive ANA
when to see enzyme changes in pm/dm
before clinical remisions and exacerbations
t/f active myositis is treatable
TRUE
autoantibodies in myositis and their clinical significance?
Jo-1 anti synthetase shows up w/ mechanics hands, interstitial lung disease, fever, and arthritis
dz: hyperkeratotic, peeling, split hands
mechanic's hands of Jo-1 dermatomyositis
drugs that can cuase weakness?
corticosteroids, statins-CK will be normal, non-inflammatory
infections that can cause weakness?
viral, esp HIV
principles of therapy for pm/Dermatomyositis?
1. high dose prednisone 2. taber every month by 25% if CK normal 3. continue a year 4. watch out for steroid myopathy 5. consider cytotozic i.e. aza for resistant dz
sign of steroid myopathy
pt gets recurring weakness but CK stays the same
inflammatory mechanism in polymositis
cell medaited Ag specifc cytotoxicity: cd8 cells in endomysium, MCH class I expression on myocytes
inflammatory mechanisms in dermatomyositis?
humorally-mediated muscle fiber damage: b cell infiltrated, MAC complex deposited in vessel walls
4 abnormalitie s of myocyte fxn in dermatomyocites
1. destruction of fibers 2. ATP-metabolism disrupting contraction/membranes 3. tNF inhibits contraction, promotes catabolism 4. capillary dropout, hypoperfusion= Muscle Weakness
