- Abstract
This article is a response to a letter to the editor regarding the distinction between "inverse Gottron's papules" and "inverse Gottron's sign" in anti-MDA5 dermatomyositis. The author agrees that the term "inverse Gottron's papules" may be more precise to describe the manifestations on the palmar aspect of the fingers and palm. The article also discusses the investigation into the triggering factors of anti-MDA5 dermatomyositis in a specific patient, including the season, viral infection, COVID-19 vaccine, and residence. However, no clear causative factor could be identified in this case. The author suggests that exploring potential triggers may provide insights into understanding the pathophysiological mechanisms of this condition.
