Severe and rapidly progressive myositis is infrequently reported in anti-PL12 ASS. This case suggests that concurrent anti-Ro52 positivity predicts a more aggressive disease phenotype and may require more initial immunosuppression. If rapid progression of this disease were to occur in an active duty service member, it would have significant implications for readiness and potentially catastrophic outcomes in the deployed setting. Early identification and treatment of the disease are imperative. The question must also be raised of an occupational exposure from military service.
