摘要
The authors report 10 patients with idiopathic dermatomyositis treated with mycophenolate mofetil in combination with corticosteroids. Successful steroid taper without disease relapse was achieved in six patients; however, in three patients, treatment was associated with opportunistic infections, leading to death in one patient. The disproportionately high rate of opportunistic infections in this group is considered.
