Abstract
Anti-synthetase syndrome (ASS) has been recognized as an important cause of autoimmune inflammatory myopathy in a subset of patients with polymyositis and dermatomyositis. Its hallmark is thepresence of serum antibodies to aminoacyl-transfer RNA synthetases and is characterized by a constellation of manifestations. Clinicians should be familiar with this entity. There is favourable response to steroids and immunosuppressants. We describe here a case of ASS presenting with myositis, interstitial lung disease(ILD), fever, deforming arthritis and Raynaud’s phenomenon who had high titre of anti jo-1antibodies.The patient responded well to steroids and cyclophosphamide pulse.
