摘要: Children with PM/DM differ in many respects from adults PM/DM. The most characteristic and distinctive feature is the presence of a widespread vasculopathy. Although pathogenesis unknown, roles for both humoral cell-mediated immunity have been proposed.

Much remains to be discovered, however, regarding this disease.
