Dermatomyositis and polymyositis are systemic autoimmune diseases that result not only in proximal muscle weakness and a characteristic rash but also affect other organs such as the lungs. The differences in clinical manifestations of several myositis-specific autoantibodies and myositis-associated autoantibodies have recently been elucidated. Lung injury that complicates dermatomyositis and polymyositis is responsible for most of the mortality. Anti-melanoma differentiation-associated gene 5 (MDA-5)-positive rapidly progressive interstitial lung disease in patients with dermatomyositis causes rapid deterioration in respiratory status with resulting high mortality. This is found in patients with Clinically Amyopathic DermatoMyositis (CADM). One must be aware of its existence from clinical symptoms including skin findings, since it has specific skin manifestations. When dermatomyositis and polymyositis complicate refractory interstitial pneumonia and pharyngeal, respiratory muscle, and myocardial disorders, they tend to be serious necessitating rapid diagnosis and treatment.
