Coexisting anti-MDA5 and anti-PL-7 antibodies are extremely rare. Anti-MDA5 is associated with rapidly progressive interstitial lung disease (RP-ILD), while anti-PL-7 is often associated with chronic or subacute ILD and better outcomes than RP-ILD. We report a 41-year-old woman diagnosed with dermatomyositis (DM)-associated ILD positive for anti-MDA5 and anti-PL-7.

Purpose Of Review: In idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs), interstitial lung disease (ILD) is common and the autoantibody profile, made up of myositis-specific and myositis-associated (MSA and MAA) antibodies, can predict the clinical phenotype and progression over time. This review will focus on the characteristics and management of antisynthetase syndrome related ILD and anti-MDA5 positive ILD, which are the most clinically relevant subtypes.
Recent Findings: The prevalence of ILD in IIM has been estimated in Asia, North America and Europe at 50, 23 and 26%, respectively, and is increasing.

Background: This study retrospectively analyzed the laboratory data and chest images of patients with amyopathic dermatomyositis associated with interstitial lung disease (ADM-ILD) and patients with other connective tissue disease-related ILDs (CTD-ILDs) to find a characteristic index for the early recognition of ADM-ILD and help clinicians consider the possibility of ADM-ILD as soon as possible.
Methods: In our cohort study, the records of 128 Chinese patients with CTD-ILD, including 33 ADM-ILD patients, 37 rheumatoid arthritis (RA)-ILD patients, 33 primary Sjogren's syndrome (pSS)-ILD patients, 14 systemic sclerosis (SSc)-ILD patients and 11 systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)-ILD patients. The patients' clinical features, laboratory parameters, and chest HRCT findings were analyzed.

Objective: To explore the clinical features and prognoses of dermatomyositis (DM) associated with a double-positive anti-MDA5 and anti-aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase (anti-ARS) antibody presentation.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 1280 consecutive patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM). Individuals with anti-MDA5 and anti-ARS antibodies (anti-MDA5+/ARS+) were compared to anti-MDA5-/ARS+ and anti-MDA5+/ARS- control individuals based on clinical, pulmonary radiological characteristics, treatment, and follow-up information.
