| Abstract |
| Abstract Dermatomyositis (DM) is rare during
the reproductive period, but when it does occur most reports have
noted that it has an adverse effect on fetal outcome. Conversely,
there is little information concerning the contribution of pregnancy
to the development and course of DM. We describe here a patient with
DM that developed after delivery of an infant and summarize previously
documented cases of postpartum-onset DM. This case suggests that
pregnancy could be a trigger for the development of DM. |
