Özet

Objective: Juvenile idiopathic inflammatory myopathies are systemic autoimmune disorders that are characterized by chronic skeletal muscle inflammation, skin rashes and other systemic involvements. We analyzed the clinical findings, laboratory values at admission and treatment protocols and treatment responses of patients who were followed up with a diagnosis of juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM) in a department of pediatric neurology and rheumatology clinics.
