  • Title: [Calcinosis of childhood dermatomyositis. Apropos of 10 cases].
    Author: Bruguier A, Texier P, Sluzewski W, Ponsot G, Arthuis M.
    Journal: Helv Paediatr Acta; 1984 Mar; 39(1):47-54. PubMed ID: 6724996.
    Abstract:
    Twenty-eight children were diagnosed as having dermatomyositis (DM) on the basis of the criteria of Bohan and Peter. Ten of the 28 children developed calcinosis. Calcium deposits mainly occurred in DM with gradual onset of symptoms and with a chronic course. Calcinosis always appeared insidiously and early during the active stage of the disease. It persisted for a long time beyond the remission of the active muscle symptoms without tendency to spontaneous resolution. Long-term follow-up data substantiate calcinosis as the most frequent and the most serious sequela in this series of childhood DM.
