Article information

Antisynthetase syndrome is a well defined syndrome characterized by the presence of interstitial lung disease in association with arthritis, myositis, mechanic's hands, and Raynaud's phenomenon in the presence of antisynthetase antibodies, especially Ac anti-Jo1. We described the case of a 68-year-old man with this syndrome in the absence of inflammatory muscle disease.

Key words:
Antisynthetase syndrome
Interstitial lung disease
Antisynthetase antibodies
Inflammatory myopathy and mechanic's hands
Resumen

El síndrome antisintetasa se caracteriza por la asociación de enfermedad pulmonar intersticial, clínica inflamatoria sistémica y artritis, miositis, manos de mecánico y fenómeno de Raynaud, todo ello en presencia de anticuerpos antisintetasa, fundamentalmente anti-Jo1. La ausencia de afectación muscular es infrecuente. Presentamos un caso de un paciente varón de 68 años con síndrome antisintetasa en ausencia de miopatía inflamatoria.
