In this episode, we're joined by myositis expert Dr. Brian Feldman to explore Juvenile Dermatomyositis (JDM). We cover its clinical presentation, key diagnostic clues, and the workup including labs and imaging. We examine the MDA5 variant, known triggers, and non-pharmacologic management strategies. Dr. Feldman also addresses the high-stakes scenario of JDM-associated rapidly progressive interstitial lung disease, offering insights into pathophysiology, imaging, and aggressive early treatment. The episode concludes with a look at the field's questions that remain.
