Abstract Dermatomyositis is an idiopathic inflammatory myopathy characterized by proximal muscle weakness and distinct skin manifestations. It is diagnosed by the presence of classical clinical features and elevation of creatine kinase, abnormal EMG findings and muscle biopsy. Timely diagnosis and treatment lead to better lifestyle.
