초록
It has been reported that antisynthetase syndrome belongs to the idiopathic myositis group which includes pulmonary interstitial disease, arthritis, Raynaud's phenomenon, and mechanic's hand, associated with the anti-Jo1 antibody. A 60- year-old man presented with one month history of lower limbs weakness, rapidly progressive exertional dyspnea, and arthralgia. A markedly increased titers of anti-Jo1 antibodies were found. Chest CT showed idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Muscle biopsies were consistent with polymyositis. A high dose corticosteroids and cyclosporine were not effective. We report a case of antisynthetase syndrome, in which immunosuppressive agents could not rescue the deteriorating disease course.
