Abstract Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) are a heterogeneous group of chronic autoimmune disease, systemic, associated with high morbidity and functional disability. Concerning to the clinical and histopathological features, the MII can be classified in polymyositis (PM), dermatomyositis (DM), juvenile dermatomyositis, inclusion body myositis, myositis associated with malignancy and myositis associated with other collagen diseases.Until now, the studies in the literature that describe pregnancy in DM / PM are mainly limited to case reports or series. This is because of DM / PM:a) be a rare systemic autoimmune disease;b) affect mainly individuals outside the age of fertility (45~55 years old).Consequently, evaluation and behavior of gestation in MII activity or remission of the disease and vice-versa is still controversial in the literature.Therefore, the few studies of pregnancy in DM / PM has motivated us to extend the approach of this topic in our population of DM / PM Service followed at tertiary composed of large samples. | |
