Objective: To describe the clinical profile and treatment outcomes of a longitudinal series of patients with rapidly progressive interstitial lung disease (RP-ILD) associated with anti MDA 5 antibody.

Methods: RP-ILD patients were identified from a prospective cohort of adult patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM). Clinical, demographic, and serological parameters of all patients were recorded using a structured proforma.

MDA5+ DM, or anti-melanoma differentiation-associated gene 5 antibody-positive dermatomyositis (DM), is a rare autoimmune illness that primarily affects women of Asian origin. The typical presentation of MDA5+ DM includes a variety of cutaneous lesions accompanied by either no muscular weakness (amyopathic) or hypomyopathic features. In patients with MDA5+ DM, rapid progression of interstitial lung disease is a frequent manifestation associated with poor prognosis.

Anti-melanoma differentiation-associated protein 5 (anti-MDA5) clinically linked amyopathic dermatomyositis (CADM) is a rare autoimmune condition strongly linked to rapidly progressive interstitial lung disease (RP-ILD), a life-threatening complication. We present a 63-year-old female patient with anti-MDA5-positive CADM, who developed RP-ILD with an imaging pattern consistent with organizing pneumonia. She presented with Gottron's papules, periungual erythema, progressive dyspnea, and anorexia.

Background: Clinically amyopathic dermatomyositis (CADM) is a rare subtype of idiopathic inflammatory myositis often linked with the presence of autoantibodies targeting melanoma differentiation-associated protein 5 (MDA5). Patients with CADM are at increased risk of developing rapidly progressing interstitial lung disease, which significantly increases both morbidity and mortality compared to other forms of inflammatory myopathies. While there is no standardized treatment regimen, current therapeutic strategies are generally focused on combination immunosuppressive therapies.
