The value of quantitative muscle ultrasound in monitoring muscle and fascia inflammatory activity in juvenile dermatomyositis patients
EI, FT, and MVFI distribution can be used to assess the activity status of individuals with JDM, and are correlated with clinical activity indices. EI may be abnormal even in children with a stable clinical condition, which suggests that ultrasound may more accurately reflect muscle status. Children with long-term unresolved fasciitis may be at risk of developing calcification.
