AB Juvenile  dermatomyositis  (JDM),  a  systemic  autoimmune  disease  with  onset  in  childhood,  is  characterized  by  chronic  skeletal  muscle  and  cutaneous  inflammation  of  unknown  cause.  JDM  is  relatively  responsive  to  immunosuppressive  therapy,  and  rapid  diagnosis  and  adequate  therapy  improve  outcomes.
