A patient with antisynthetase syndrome with pulmonary and muscular involvement was treated with immunosuppressive agents without corticosteroids. Rituximab was added to mycophenolate mofetil therapy with improvement in lung functional and imaging findings and normalization of creatine kinase levels.
Antisynthetase syndrome associated with interstitial lung disease (ILD) and myopathy can be successfully treated without corticosteroids.A combination of several immunosuppressive agents can be a therapeutic alternative in case of refractory ILD.
一名患有抗合成酶综合征且伴有肺部和肌肉受累的患者接受了无皮质类固醇的免疫抑制剂治疗。在霉酚酸酯治疗中加用了利妥昔单抗,肺功能和影像学表现得到改善,肌酸激酶水平恢复正常。
与间质性肺病(ILD)和肌病相关的抗合成酶综合征无需使用皮质类固醇即可成功治疗。对于难治性ILD,几种免疫抑制剂联合使用可能是一种治疗选择。
