TL;DR
This study examines the long-term effects of combining steroid pulses with mycophenolate mofetil in treating juvenile dermatomyositis.
Contribution
The novel approach combines intermittent glucocorticoid pulses with mycophenolate mofetil for treating juvenile dermatomyositis.
Findings
The combination therapy showed long-term clinical benefits in patients with juvenile dermatomyositis.
Intermittent glucocorticoid pulses reduced the need for continuous high-dose steroids.
