Dermatomyositis related to autoimmune thyroiditis
Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, 08/12/2011
Wang H et al. – Prevalence of cancer in coexistent dermatomyositis (DM) and autoimmune thyroiditis (AIT) may be very low. Also, it is reasonable to suggest that DM patients with AIT should be routinely evaluated for thyroid function and the emergence of comorbidities. Moreover, corticosteroids combined with levothyroxine may be useful for these patients as a standard treatment.
