  • Title: Juvenile dermatomyositis presenting with anasarca: A possible indicator of severe disease activity.
    Author: Mitchell JP, Dennis GJ, Rider LG.
    Journal: J Pediatr; 2001 Jun; 138(6):942-5. PubMed ID: 11391348.
    Abstract:
    Juvenile dermatomyositis is a rare autoimmune disease characterized by inflammation of the muscle, skin, and other organs. Although localized edema is a common feature of juvenile dermatomyositis, generalized edema has been reported infrequently. We describe a patient with juvenile dermatomyositis presenting with anasarca and note that generalized edema has been associated with severe disease activity.
