Question 3 of 5
A 39-year-old female presents with progressive weakness in her shoulders and hips over a period of two months. She states that getting up from a chair, climbing a flight of stairs, combing her hair, and picking up her groceries have become increasingly difficult. Family history is significant for colon cancer in her father, and systemic lupus erythematosus in the mother. Creatine kinase and LDH is elevated on laboratory testing. On physical examination, an erythematous rash in the periorbital region is seen. Mild swelling is noted in the small joints of the hand. Muscle tenderness is elicited upon palpation of the shoulders and hips. 4-/5 strength is appreciated in the deltoid, and hip. Which of the following is the best treatment for her symptoms?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The patient's presentation of proximal muscle weakness, elevated creatine kinase, and periorbital rash is consistent with dermatomyositis. Prednisone is the first-line treatment for dermatomyositis due to its potent anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive effects. Methotrexate, hydroxychloroquine, rituximab, and intravenous immunoglobulin are used as adjuncts or in refractory cases but are not the initial treatment.
