Abstract

Calcinosis is a frequent finding in up to 40% of children with juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM). Different treatments (aluminum hydroxide, diltiazem, probenecid, alendronate, etc.) have been used in an attempt to clear calcinosis and to avoid the onset of new calcium deposition, but none has been clearly effective. Pamidronate is a nitrogen-containing bisphosphonate with a potent inhibiting bone resorption effect that has been used to treat osteoporosis in children. We report three children with JDM who developed calcinosis and who received intravenous pamidronate with good results.
