| Abstract |
| Abstract We report on five patients with dermatomyositis
(DM) and cutaneous necrosis. Patients presented with classic DM skin
eruptions, mild myositis, and a high incidence (4/5) of interstitial
pneumonia. Cutaneous necrosis developed independently of steroid
therapy, with the majority of lesions being cured following several
months of sterilization treatment. In addition, one patient with
accompanying cancer presented with multiple necrotic lesions. Topical
treatment using gentiana violet against local infection was considered
to have been essential in accelerating healing. |
