title: Successful outcomes of pregnancy complicated with dermatomyositis. Case reports.
abstract: There are few reports in the literature of pregnancy in dermatomyositis (DM), in contrast with those of other connective tissue diseases. We describe 2 patients who had an established diagnosis of DM and then became pregnant. In these cases, both the fetal and maternal outcome were good, and differed from those in previously reported cases.
