Abstract

Systemic sclerosis-polymyositis overlap syndrome is rare in children. Anti-PM/Scl is the most common autoantibody associated with this syndrome. We present a case of systemic sclerosis-polymyositis overlap syndrome in a child with isolated anti-Ku antibodies, an uncommon antibody associated with this rare syndrome.
