Abstract

The diagnosis of dermatomyositis was made in a patient who had fever and generalized muscle weakness. X- ray of the chest has revealed multiple pulmonary nodular infiltrations during the therapy of corticosteroid, methotrexate and intravenous immunoglobulin. These infiltrations disappeared during the therapy. it is suggested that the infiltrations were due to dennatomyositis after ali the other causes were excluded. This case reported because of rarity of pulmonary nodular infiltrations in dermatomyositis and their positive response to intra¬venous immunoglobulin therapy.

Özet

Ateş ve yangın kas güçsüzlüğü olan bir hasta dermatomiyozit tanısı kondu. Kortikosteroid, metotreksat ve intravenöz immunoglobulin tedavisi sırasında akciğer grafisinde multipl pul¬moner nodüler infiltrasyonlar saptandı. Bu infiltrasyonlar aynı tedavi ile kayboldu. Diğer sebe¬pler dışlandıktan sonra infiltrasyonların dermatomiyozite bağlı olduğu düşünüldü. Olgu, no¬düler infiltrasyonların dermatomiyozitte nadir görülmesi ve kortizon, metotreksan ve intravenöz immunoglobin tedavisinde iyi cevap vermesi nedeniyle bildirilmiştir.
