A young woman presented with gradually progressive breathlessness, cough and muscle weakness for one and a half year. Her chest radiograph showed multiple, bilateral thin-walled cavitary lesions. Her serum was found to be positive for anti-Jo1 antibodies on serology. Histopathology of lung lesions was suggestive of organizing pneumonia. The muscle biopsy demonstrated a myopathic pattern. On the basis of these findings she was diagnosed to be the case of idiopathic inflammatory myopathy. Her condition improved significantly after treatment with steroids.
一名年轻女性出现逐渐加重的呼吸困难、咳嗽和肌肉无力症状达一年半之久。她的胸部X光片显示双侧有多个薄壁空洞性病变。血清学检查发现她的血清抗Jo1抗体呈阳性。肺部病变的组织病理学提示为机化性肺炎。肌肉活检显示为肌病模式。基于这些发现，她被诊断为特发性炎性肌病。使用类固醇治疗后，她的病情显著改善。
