Case Report
Anti-SAE1 antibody is a rarely reported, myositis-specific antibody, which is most clinically associated with affecting the gastrointestinal tract, skin, and lungs. This case demonstrates a patient presenting to the hospital with signs of dermatomyositis, later found to be anti-SAE1 positive. He was promptly treated with immunosuppressive medications, including IVIG, a novel therapeutic agent for dermatomyositis. This case further elucidates the importance of identifying anti-SAE1-positive patients in dermatomyositis.
