Dermatomyositis

A type of idiopathic inflammatory myopathy characterized by evocative skin lesions and symmetrical proximal muscle weakness.

Purpura (from Latin: purpura, meaning \"purple\") is the appearance of red or purple discolorations on the skin that do not blanch on applying pressure. They are caused by bleeding underneath the skin. This term refers to an abnormally increased susceptibility to developing purpura. Purpura are larger than petechiae.

	Our results could be the consequence of the association of immunosuppressive therapy intensive enough to control the autoimmune thrombocytopenic purpura and dermatomyositis with alpha-interferon whose antiviral capacity may have been able to prevent re-exacerbation of the hepatitis.
