Increased Levels of Soluble CD206 Associated with Rapidly Progressive Interstitial Lung Disease in Patients with Dermatomyositis

<div>The correlation between sCD206 levels and PFTs in patients with DM. (a) sCD206 levels were negatively correlated with %FVC in patients with DM. (b) sCD206 levels were negatively correlated with %FEV1 in patients with DM. (c) sCD206 levels were negatively correlated with %DL<sub>CO</sub> in patients with DM. sCD206: soluble CD206; DM: dermatomyositis; PFTs: pulmonary function tests; %FVC: percent predicted forced vital capacity; %FEV1: percent predicted forced expiratory volume in one second; %DL<sub>CO</sub>: percent predicted carbon monoxide diffusion capacity.</div>
