Article Synopsis
  • Over 300,000 children in the U.S. have pediatric rheumatic diseases (PRDs), with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), childhood-onset systemic lupus erythematosus (cSLE), and juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM) being the most prevalent.
  • The first biologic therapy for JIA, Etanercept, was approved in 1999, followed by other similar treatments that have significantly improved disease outcomes, though options for cSLE and JDM remain limited.
  • The review explores the challenges in treating various PRDs, highlights advancements in treatment, and discusses current regulatory conditions affecting bDMARD and tsDMARD approvals.

Dermatomyositis (DM) is an immune mediated inflammatory disease classically associated with muscular and cutaneous involvement. Existing studies have suggested characteristic nailfold findings may be observed in DM, indicating a potential role for nailfold microscopic examination in the diagnosis of DM. To that end, we performed a systematic review of literature pertaining to nailfold microscopic, capillaroscopic, and dermoscopic findings observed in patients with DM, with a secondary review of the association of nailfold microscopic findings with myositis-specific antibody (MSA) and myositis-associated antibody (MAA) status.
