Background And Objectives: Melanoma differentiation-associated gene 5 antibody (anti-MDA5) in dermatomyositis (DM) is associated with rapidly progressive interstitial lung disease and poor prognosis. Early diagnosis is key to improving the prognosis of these patients. The aim was to confirm cutaneous characteristics in patients with anti-MDA5 dermatomyositis and to explore new diagnostic markers for the presence of anti-MDA5 (anti-MDA5 ).

- The study looked at how patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) respond to a medicine called omalizumab and whether they still need to take antihistamines (AH).
- Some patients (23.5%) stopped taking AH while on omalizumab and had better results in controlling their symptoms.
- The researchers think more studies are needed to figure out which patients can stop taking antihistamines safely while using omalizumab.
Dermatomyositis is a form of idiopathic inflammatory myopathy that involves skeletal muscle and skin. The objectives of this review are to briefly describe the cutaneous manifestations of the disease, to raise some questions still debated about amyopathic dermatomyositis, and to reflect current knowledge of an interesting aspect in dermatomyositis as it is the risk to develop malignancy. Although clear evidence for a significant dermatomyositis-cancer association exists, optimal clinical or biological factors that predict an association with cancer have not been identified.
