Abstract

Autoimmune disorders are an important cause of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). We report a case of a patient with steroid-responsive ARDS that relapsed in 10 months with an initial manifestation of seronegative polymyositis. ARDS associated with polymyositis may develop earlier than myopathy and may relapse later.

Keywords: acute respiratory distress syndrome; coronavirus disease 2019; interstitial lung disease; polymyositis.
