Juvenile dermatomyositis is a systemic autoimmune disease characterized by progressive proximal muscle weakness, pathognomonic rashes, and often the presence of myositis-specific antibodies. Consensus treatment plans for pediatric patients with juvenile dermatomyositis recommend steroids and methotrexate as initial therapy. Patients with anti-transcription intermediary factor 1 gamma (anti-TIF-1γ) antibodies tend to have more refractory disease requiring more aggressive treatment with intravenous immunoglobulin, which is typically well tolerated.
