Eight (23%) of the patients who did not experience a phase of Partial Clinical Remission had been followed-up with DM and 1 other autoimmune disease. Five (28%) of the patients who experienced less than 297 days, a phase of Partial Clinical Remission had been followed-up with DM and 1 other autoimmune disease. Thirty-five (33%) of the patients who experienced more than 297 days a phase of Partial Clinical Remission had been followed-up with DM and 1 other autoimmune disease. This results show that clinicians should be more careful for the other autoimmune diseases, with the patients who experience longer Partial Clinical Remission. |
