Core Tip We report a patient diagnosed with hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related liver cirrhosis complicated with dermatomyositis. However, HBV was not detected in his muscle sample, thus we concluded that his dermatomyositis (DM) did not associate with his HBV infection. Diagnosis of DM on the basis of HBV infection is relatively uncommon. Diagnosis and treatment are difficult due to the complex relationship between these diseases and their conflicting treatment strategies. By providing our experience in diagnosing and treating DM with HBV, we hope to assist with similar cases and to stimulate further research on the relationship between DM and HBV.
