This informational presentation was created for families with children newly diagnosed with juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM) or juvenile polymyositis (JPM), the most common forms of juvenile myositis (JM).
It provides an overview of the disease and what to expect through doctor, patient and family interviews.
Recently, Cure JM’s Jim Minow was able to attend the Global Conference for Myositis. This conference was not only informational, but was a most impressive day for Cure JM. The conference brings together leading myositis researchers from around the world to share results and collaborate on future projects leading to better care and improved treatments for our JM kids.
Dr. Victoria Werth, M.D., discusses the identification and treatment of skin manifestations associated with dermatomyositis. Her talk covers diagnostic criteria, various skin manifestations, the latest treatment approaches, and the complexities of managing this condition, all aimed at improving patient outcomes and quality of life.
