Radiological Characteristics of Patients With Anti-MDA5–Antibody-Positive Dermatomyositis in 18F-FDG PET/CT: A Pilot Study

Objective: To elucidate the 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET/CT characteristics and its prognostic value in the patients with anti-melanoma differentiation associated protein 5 antibody positive (anti-MDA5+) dermatomyositis (DM).Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional study included 26 patients...

The maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) of multiple organs and other clinical characteristics of the patients were measured and analyzed.Results: Compared with the anti-MDA5– group, the patients in the anti-MDA5+ group showed higher bilateral lung SUVmax (p = 0.029), higher SUVmax of spleen (p = 0.011), and bone marrow (p = 0.048). Significant correlations between the spleen SUVmax and serum ferritin levels (r = 0.398, p < 0.001), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) (r = 0.274, p = 0.023), platelet count (r = −0.265, p= 0.028), myositis disease activity assessment score (r = 0.332, p = 0.005), bone marrow SUVmax (r = 0.564, p < 0.001), and bilateral lung SUVmax (r = 0.393, p < 0.001) were observed.Conclusion:18F-FDG PET/CT was found valuable in quantifying the pulmonary focal inflammation and potentially unveil the distinctive characteristics and pathophysiological mechanisms in the patients with anti-MDA5+ DM.Heng CaoJunyu LiangDanyi XuYinuo LiuYinan YaoYiduo SunYe HeJin LinFrontiers Media S.A.articledermatomyositismelanoma differentiation associated protein 5 (MDA5)18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT)interstitial lung disease (ILD)standardized uptake value (SUV)Medicine (General)R5-920ENFrontiers in Medicine, Vol 8 (2021)
