Melanoma differentiation associated gene 5 (MDA5) antibody is a kind of myositis-specific autoantibodies, which can be used as a biological marker for dermatomyositis (DM) patients. It has been shown that this antibody is closely related to the occurrence of interstilung disease (ILD) in DM patients, which may lead to rapidly progressive interstitial lung disease in DM patients with MDA5 antibody positive, leading to a higher mortality rate. Therefore, the early detection, diagnosis and treatment of this disease have attracted the attention of clinical workers. In this paper, the progress of diagnosis and treatment of MDA5 antibody-positive DM with ILD is reviewed.
