在包括皮肌炎在内的结缔组织疾病的治疗过程中，由于患者的免疫抑制，机会性感染的发生并不罕见。我们在这里描述巨细胞病毒（CMV）感染，影响我们的两个皮肌炎患者。巨细胞病毒感染并未被认为是皮肌炎的常见事件，其对疾病进展的重要性尚未得到充分认识。我们的病例报告表明，密切监测这类患者和及时开始适当治疗的重要性，以管理疑似巨细胞病毒感染。
The occurrence of opportunistic infections is not rare during the treatment of connective tissue diseases, including dermatomyositis because of the patient's immunosuppression. We describe here cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection that affected two of our patients with dermatomyositis. CMV infection has not been considered to be a frequent event in dermatomyositis, and its significance for disease progression has not been sufficiently recognized. Our case reports demonstrate the importance of close monitoring of such patients and prompt initiation of appropriate therapy to manage a suspected CMV infection.
