Abstract

Although juvenile dermatomyositis is rare, it is the most common idiopathic nonsupurrative inflammatory myositis in childhood. Skin lesions, proximal muscle weakness, elevated levels of muscle enzymes, electromyography, and muscle biopsy findings are used in diagnosing juvenile dermatomyositis. In this paper, we aimed to present the case of juvenile dermatomyositis in a patient with elevated levels of creatine kinase.

Özet

Jüvenil dermatomiyozit çocukluk çağında nadir görülmesine rağmen çocukluk ve ergenlik döneminde en sık görülen idiyopatik nonsüpüratif enflamatuvar miyozitidir. Tanısında cilt bulguları, proksimal kas güçsüzlüğü, artmış kas enzim düzeyleri, elektromiyografi incelemesinde miyojen tutulum bulguları ve kas biyopsisi bulguları yardımcıdır. Bu makalede çok yüksek kreatinin kinaz yüksekliği olan bir dermatomiyozit olgusu sunulmuştur.
