説明
<p>We describe a case of a woman who presented with a persistent cough, general fatigue, and a fever. Interstitial lung disease was rapidly progressive and resistant to high-dose steroid therapy. She tested positive for the presence of anti-melanoma differentiation-associated gene 5 (MDA-5) antibody, although she had no skin manifestations of dermatomyositis. She was eventually diagnosed with unclassifiable idiopathic interstitial pneumonia and was successfully treated with intensive immunosuppressive therapy including intravenous cyclophosphamide. To our knowledge, this is the first report of anti-MDA-5 antibody in a patient with idiopathic interstitial pneumonia. </p>
