Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Interferon-alpha (IFNalpha) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of juvenile dermatomyositis (DM). The aim of this study was to examine serum IFNalpha activity in a cohort of children with juvenile DM to determine relationships between IFNalpha and indicators of disease activity and severity. METHODS: Thirty-nine children with definite/probable juvenile DM were included in the study. Serum samples...
