There is a lack of sufficient prospective studies on this heterogeneous group of patients, particularly in case of ILD being involved. The diagnosis is based upon guideline recommendations for ILD and requires a multidisciplinary discussion within a team with specific expertise in this field. Myositis specific antibodies and myositis associated antibodies form an essential part of the diagnostic tools and may also be associated with a certain phenotype or disease progression. Anti-t-RNA-synthetase antibodies (Anti-ARS) and anti-melanoma differentiation-associated gene 5 antibodies (MDA5) play an important clinical role for treatment the estimation of response and prognosis. The most common ILD patterns are nonspecific interstitial pneumonia (NSIP) and organising pneumonia (OP) or a mixed pattern of both. Treatment is based on systemic steroids and early initiation of other immunosuppressant drugs.
