Dermatomyositis (DM) is an immune-mediated dermatological condition characterized by unclear pathogenesis. Several environmental factors have been implicated in its aetiology, including the microalga Spirulina. This dietary supplement has been proposed as a potential trigger for disease exacerbation or as an agent capable of initiating de novo DM. This review examines the current literature on the potential association between spirulina ingestion and the onset or exacerbation of DM and proposes directions for future clinical research.
