摘要
We describe a 35-year-old woman with dermatomyositis, who four months after implantation of abdominal Marlex(R) mesh, developed a severe exacerbation of her disease,vith muscle weakness, elevated acute-phase reactants, a high level of muscle enzymes, and the appearance of dermal lesions with calcinosis. The Marlex(R) mesh implant may have triggered the flare-up of her underlying autoimmune disorder.
