Originally thought to be associated only with rheumatic fever, it has since been shown to occur also in SLE, Sj�gren syndrome, scleroderma, dermatomyositis, psoriatic arthritis, vasculitis, ankylosing spondylitis, mixed connective tissue disease, and pyrophosphate deposition disease.

The programs support research in rheumatoid arthritis; adjuvant and chemically induced inflammatory arthritis; systemic lupus erythematosus; systemic scleroderma; spondyloarthropathies; dermatomyositis and myositis; vasculitis; fibromyalgia; juvenile arthritis and general autoimmunity; gout; Lyme disease; and infection-related arthritis.

The fifth criterion is what differentiates dermatomyositis from polymyositis; the diagnosis is considered definite for dermatomyositis if three of items 1 through 4 are present in addition to 5, probable with any two in addition to 5, and possible if just one is present in addition to 5.

As of 2016, treatments for amyopathic dermatomyositis in adults did not have a strong evidence base; published treatments included antimalarial medications, applied to the skin, calcineurin inhibitors applied to the skin, dapsone, Intravenous immunoglobulin ( IVIG ), methotrexate, azathioprine, and mycophenolate mofetil.

For example, muscle inflammation due to dermatomyositis may cause AST > ALT . This is a good reminder that AST and ALT are not good measures of liver function because they do not reliably reflect the synthetic ability of the liver and they may come from tissues other than liver ( such as muscle ).

Separately, SERVIER initiated a Phase 2 study to determine gevokizumab's ability to reduce arterial wall inflammation in patients with marked atherosclerotic plaque inflammation and who have experienced an acute coronary syndrome in the previous twelve months, as well as POC studies in polymyositis / dermatomyositis, giant cell arteritis, and Schnitzler syndrome.

Mycosis fungoides, a type of skin lymphoma, may be a cause of PVA . The condition may also be caused by, associated with or accompany any of the following conditions or disorders : other skin lymphomas, dermatomyositis, lupus erythematosus, Rothmund-Thompson syndrome, Kindler syndrome, dyskeratosis congenita, and chronic radiodermatitis.

The study suggests it is simply coincidence that some women with silicone breast implants also have ailments such as rheumatic arthritis; scleroderma, in which the immune system attacks its own tissues; polymyositis and dermatomyositis, in which the muscles or skin become inflamed and weak; and Sjogren's syndrome, in which the eyes, mouth and vagina become excessively dry.

Prominent examples include celiac disease, diabetes mellitus type 1, sarcoidosis, systemic lupus erythematosus ( SLE ), Sj�gren's syndrome, eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, Graves'disease, idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, Addison's disease, rheumatoid arthritis ( RA ), ankylosing spondylitis, polymyositis ( PM ), and dermatomyositis ( DM ).
