A 60-year-old Filipino woman diagnosed with dermatomyositis was initially on prednisone and methotrexate. She eventually developed interstitial lung disease (ILD) and so methotrexate was shifted to azathioprine; however, azathioprine was discontinued due to cutaneous tuberculosis. Over eight years, the dermatomyositis was controlled by prednisone alone but the ILD worsened. This case demonstrated that the course of ILD may be independent of dermatomyositis.
一名60岁被诊断为皮肌炎的菲律宾女性最初接受泼尼松和甲氨蝶呤治疗。她最终发展为间质性肺病(ILD),因此甲氨蝶呤换成了硫唑嘌呤;然而,由于皮肤结核,硫唑嘌呤停药。八年来,皮肌炎仅靠泼尼松得到控制,但ILD病情恶化。该病例表明,ILD的病程可能与皮肌炎无关。
