ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) findings, laboratory test results and clinical manifestations of anti-melanoma differentiation-associated gene 5 (MDA5) antibody positive dermatomyositis complicated with lung interstitial lesions, and to analyze the correlation between the HRCT findings and clinical course of disease.Methods:Twenty-seven patients with anti-MDA5 antibody positive associated dermatomyositis (DM) were included and divided into two groups: acute/subacute group ( n=15) and chronic group ( n=12). HRCT images of lung were analyzed. Clinical data including gender, age, clinical manifestations and course of disease, anti-Ro52 antibody, creatine kinase (CK), antinuclear antibody (ANA), anti-Jo-1 antibody and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) were also collected. χ2 test was adopted for statistical analysis. Results:① Interstitial changes were 100%(27/27). The proportion of unilateral localized distribution was the most [48%(13/27)], followed by bilateral localized distribution [30%(8/27)], and bilateral diffuse distribution [22%(6/27)). ② Among the HRCT findings of lung interstitial changes, ground glass shadow was the most common presentations [59%(16/27)], followed by subpleural curve sign [63%(17/27)] and interlobular septal thickening [56%(15/27)], while honeycomb sign [0(0/27)] had the lowest rate of presentation. ③ Compared with the chronic progressive group, the acute/subacute progressive group presented as chest tightness (80% vs 8%, χ2=13.715, P<0.05) and dyspnea (47% vs 0, χ2=7.560, P<0.05). Acute/subacute HRCT showed ground glass opacity (87% vs 25%, χ2=10.501, P<0.05). The prominent HRCT showed interlobular septal thickening in the chronic course group (83% vs 33%, χ2=6.750, P<0.05). ④ The anti-MDA5 antibody (+++) index was significantly different (88% vs 25%, χ2=8.168, P<0.05). There was no significant difference in anti-Ro52 antibody (+), ANA(+), anti-Jo-1 antibody(+), CK elevation and ESR elevation between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Most dermatomyositis patients with positive anti-MDA5 antibody are complicated with interstitial lung lesions, the HRCT manifestations of lung are diverse. In order to confirm the diagnosis of this disease, clinical manifestations, laboratory and pathological examinations are required.
