Borges et al. have recently reported the first case of a dermatomyositis onset in close association with established coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Similarly, we report a patient who, on the contrary, had COVID-19 following early established dermatomyositis. We report prospectively the outcome of her disease.
