Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies overlapping with systemic diseases
A muscle biopsy is currently requested to assess the diagnosis of an idiopathic inflammatory myopathy overlapping with a systemic disease. During the past few years, the classification of inflammatory myopathy subtypes has been revisited progressively on the basis of correlations between clinical phenotypes, autoantibodies and histological data. Several syndromic entities are now more clearly d...
متن کاملResistin in idiopathic inflammatory myopathies
INTRODUCTION The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the serum levels and local expression of resistin in patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathies to controls, and to determine the relationship between resistin levels, inflammation and disease activity. METHODS Serum resistin levels were determined in 42 patients with inflammatory myopathies and 27 healthy controls. The ...
متن کاملAutoantibodies in Idiopathic Inflammatory Myopathies
Autoimmune response to nuclear and cytoplasmic autoantigens is detected in about 60-80% of patients affected with idiopathic inflammatory myositis such as polymyositis (PM), dermatomyositis (DM) and inclusion body myositis (IBM). Some of the serum autoantibodies are shared with other autoimmune diseases (myositis-associated antibodies MAA) and some of them are unique to myositis (myositis-speci...
متن کاملChemokines in idiopathic inflammatory myopathies.
The idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) represent a heterogeneous group of acquired muscle diseases. The three best-studied subgroups: dermatomyositis (DM), polymyositis (PM), and sporadic inclusion body myositis (IBM), differ considerably both clinically and pathophysiologically. DM is a chiefly humoral endotheliopathy often associated with characteristic skin manifestations. In PM and IB...
