Efficiency of Therapeutic Plasma-Exchange in Acute Interstitial Lung Disease, Associated With Polymyositis/Dermatomyositis Resistant to Glucocorticoids and Immunosuppressive Drugs: A Retrospective Study

Efficiency of Therapeutic Plasma-Exchange in Acute Interstitial Lung Disease, Associated With Polymyositis/Dermatomyositis Resistant to Glucocorticoids and Immunosuppressive Drugs: A Retrospective Study

Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a life-threating complication, commonly associated with polymyositis (PM), and dermatomyositis (DM). A subset of acute ILD associated with PM/DM patients are refractory to conventional treatment, and leads to a high rate of mortality. The efficacy of therapeutic pl...
