We have published the Japanese version of 'Clinical practice guidance for juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM) 2018 'consisting of a review of articles in the field and evidence-informed consensus-based experts' opinion on the treatment strategy in collaboration with The Pediatric Rheumatology Association of Japan and The Japan College of Rheumatology under the financial support by 'Research on rare and intractable diseases, Health and Labor Sciences Research Grants'. This article is a digest version of the Japanese guidance.
