A 61-year-old patient with cystic bronchiectasis and bronchial artery hyperplasia in the left lung was diagnosed with polymyositis-related interstitial lung disease. After nine months of immunosuppressive therapy, he developed unilateral autoimmune pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (APAP) in the right lung with respiratory failure. After bronchial artery embolization to prevent massive hemoptysis, whole-lung lavage was performed using veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. His respiratory condition improved, and he was discharged from the hospital with supplemental oxygen. Three reported cases of APAP with polymyositis-related interstitial lung disease, including the present case, were all positive for anti-glycyl tRNA synthetase antibody and were under immunosuppressive treatment.

Excessive neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation may contribute to polymyositis (PM)-associated interstitial lung diseases (ILD), but the underlying mechanism is not fully revealed. In this study, we found that NET accelerated the progression of ILD and promoted pulmonary fibrosis (PF) in vivo. miR-7 expression was down-regulated in lung tissue of PM group than control group, and NETs further decreased miR-7 expression.

Background: Macrophage activation is involved in the pathogenesis of polymyositis (PM)/dermatomyositis (DM). CD163, a scavenger receptor expressed on the surface of activated macrophages, mediates anti-inflammatory functions. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical significance of soluble CD163 (sCD163) in PM/DM-related interstitial lung disease (ILD).

Background: Dermatomyositis (DM) and polymyositis (PM) are rare systemic autoimmune rheumatic diseases with high fatality rates. There have been few population-based mortality studies of dermatomyositis and polymyositis in the world, and none have been conducted in Brazil. The objective of the present study was to employ multiple-cause-of-death methodology in the analysis of trends in mortality related to dermatomyositis and polymyositis in the state of São Paulo, Brazil, between 1985 and 2007.

A 33-year-old pregnant woman developed respiratory difficulty with bilateral pleural effusion 31 weeks into gestation. On admission she had an elevated serum level of creatine kinase, but muscle weakness in the extremities was mild. After an immediate and successful Cesarean section, she developed respiratory failure and mechanical ventilation was required.
