Abstract
- Dermatomyositis is a rare inflammatory myopathy with characteristic skin manifestations and muscular weakness. Immunologic factors are most likely involved in the pathogenesis of the disease. We describe a 44 year old man with a 5 month history of severe pruritus on the trunk and upper extremities with intermittent tremor of upper extremities. Hydroxychloroquine and methotrexate were combined with glucocorticoids for one month, improvement of clinical manifestations could be observed.
