Abstract
- Childhood dermatomyositis seems to differ from the adult form by the presence of vasculitis and the late development of calcinosis. We report two patients with childhood dermatomyositis who were clinically characteristic and successfully treated with the followings. The first patient improved with intravenous gammaglobulin. The second patient improved with oral prednisone, methotrexate, and hydroxychloroquine.
