Necrotizing Autoimmune Myopathy: A Rare Variant of Idiopathic Inflammatory Myopathies
Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies are an unusual group of myopathies with annual incidence of 1 in 100 000 people in the United States. Necrotizing autoimmune myopathy comprises only 16% of this group. It usually presents with severe proximal weakness, lower extremity weakness, and severe fatigue while very rarely does it present with dysphagia and respiratory muscle weakness. Statin use, canc...
متن کاملHealth-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) in Idiopathic Inflammatory Myopathy: A Systematic Review
Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is a research priority in chronic diseases. We undertook a systematic review (registration #CRD42015024939) to identify, appraise and synthesize the evidence relating to HRQoL in idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM). A comprehensive search was conducted in August 2015 using CINAHL, EMBase and Pubmed to identify studies reporting original data on HRQoL ...
متن کاملCase Report: Elevated CPK, an indicator of idiopathic inflammatory myopathy?
Polymyositis is a rare disease with incidence rates at about 1 per 100,000 people annually. In this case report we will review a case of proximal muscle weakness with an elevated creatine phosphokinase that was initially misdiagnosed twice as rhabdomyolysis. Therefore, emphasizing that idiopathic inflammatory myopathy is a potential cause of myasthenia that must be considered in the differentia...
متن کاملRecent advances in the immunogenetics of idiopathic inflammatory myopathy
This review summarizes the previous and current literature on the immunogenetics of idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM) and updates the research progress that has been made over the past decade. A substantial part of the genetic risk for developing adult- and juvenile-onset IIM lies within the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), and a tight relationship exists between individual human le...
متن کاملApproach to Diagnosis and Management of an Idiopathic Inflammatory Myopathy
Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies are a group of autoimmune diseases characterized by proximal muscle weakness and inflammation of skeletal muscle. Specific forms of idiopathic inflammatory myopathy include polymyositis, dermatomyositis, and inclusion body myositis. Inflammatory myopathies have a bimodal distribution, occurring in patients between 10 and 15 years and 45 and 60 years of age, ex...
