Juvenile Dermatomyositis (JDM) is a chronic autoimmune disorder, primarily affecting children. This rare condition is characterised by inflammation in the skin, blood vessels, and muscles. The disease is triggered by an autoimmune response, where the body's immune system mistakenly attacks its tissues and cells. Genetic predisposition and overreaction to viral infections may also play a role in the onset of JDM.
In the bustling city of Mumbai, where residents often juggle numerous responsibilities, Apollo Hospitals offers comprehensive care and treatment for juvenile dermatomyositis. With a team of dedicated doctors for the treatment of childhood dermatomyositis or juvenile dermatomyositis disorder, Apollo Hospitals stands as a beacon of hope for those grappling with this condition.
Types of Juvenile Dermatomyositis
Juvenile Dermatomyositis can present itself in multiple types:
-
Juvenile Dermatomyositis (JDM): This is the most common form of the disease, distinguished by skin rash and muscle weakness.
-
Juvenile Myositis: A less common variant that only affects the muscles.
-
Juvenile Polymyositis: A rare type that impacts multiple muscle groups simultaneously.
Symptoms of Juvenile Dermatomyositis
Recognising the symptoms of juvenile dermatomyositis is critical for early diagnosis. These may include:
-
Red or purple patches appearing on the eyelids, cheeks, fingernails, knuckles, elbows, knees, and ankles.

-

To diagnose Juvenile Dermatomyositis, a range of tests may be recommended by the doctors treating juvenile dermatomyositis disease or sickness:
-

-
Blood Tests: To evaluate muscle enzymes and certain antibodies
-
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): To help observe muscle swelling
-
