<p>Idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM) is a group of heterogeneous diseases that can affect multiple systems. Currently, it is classified into different subtypes based on myositis-specific antibodies and muscle tissue pathology. These subtypes vary in treatment response and clinical prognosis, with poor treatment outcomes observed in cases of rapidly progressive interstitial lung disease and severe muscle involvement. Despite conventional treatments, there remains a high rate of mortality and disability. The production of B cells and autoantibodies plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of IIM. Targeting B cells has emerged as an effective therapeutic strategy for IIM. This review aims to summarize the current state of B cell-targeted therapies for IIM, providing clinicians with potential treatment options.</p>
