Abstract:
Objectives To investigate the clinical effect of hemoperfusion in severe juvenile dermatomyositis. Meth-ods Two patients with severe juvenile dermatomyositis, who accepted hemoperfusion treatment, were retrospectively analyzed. Results In these 2 patients, the hemoperfusion process were smooth. The muscle pain was reduced and the muscle enzymes were decreased. After hemoperfusion, one patient refused to continue treatment and the disease recurrent. The other patient con-tinued to accept the immunosuppressive therapy and eventually improved. Conclusions For juvenile dermatomyositis, hemo-perfusion was a safe and effective auxiliary treatment. It could be applied when the general treatment was invalid.
