The presence of the anti-melanoma differentiation-associated gene 5 antibody was evaluated in 13 patients with juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM). The antibody was positive in 5 of the 6 patients with JDM-associated interstitial lung disease (ILD), but not in the 7 patients without ILD. This antibody is a useful marker for early diagnosis of JDM-associated ILD.
研究者评估了 13 例皮肌炎(DM)患儿血清中抗黑素瘤分化相关基因 5(MDA5)抗体的表达情况。6 例皮肌炎相关间质性肺病(ILD)患儿中 5 例抗体阳性,7 例无ILD 患儿抗体均阴性。该抗体是皮肌炎相关ILD 的早期诊断的有用标志物。
