Familial inflammatory inclusion body myositis.
OBJECTIVE To compare familial inflammatory inclusion body myositis (IBM) with hereditary inclusion body myopathies and sporadic IBM. PATIENTS AND METHODS Clinical, biological, MRI, and histological data were analysed in two siblings with inflammatory IBM and compared with those of patients with sporadic and hereditary IBM.

متن کاملDiagnostic value of MRI in inflammatory myositis
A 65-year-old woman presented with a 5-week history of generalized weakness and myalgia. She had a history of seropositive myasthenia gravis post thymectomy for invasive thymoma and was in pharmacologic remission on prednisone and methotrexate. Although limited by significant pain, examination showed diffuse proximal and distal weakness. Serum creatine kinase (CK) was 572 IU/L. Myositis antibod...
متن کامل[Myositis specific and myositis associated autoantibodies in idiopathic inflammatory myopathies: a serologic study of 46 patients].
OBJECTIVE To characterize serum autoantibody profiles of patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) by searching for myositis-specific (MSA) and myositis-associated (MAA) antibodies with sensitive and specific laboratory tests. METHODS We tested the sera from 46 Caucasian patients diagnosed as affected with IIM at the Division of Rheumatology of Padova University (21 polimyositis,...
متن کاملCarrier Woman of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy Mimicking Inflammatory Myositis
Carrier woman of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) can mimic the inflammatory myositis in presenting symptoms. Two diseases should be differentiated by the clinical history, muscle biopsy and genetic study. There are few reports in which both histochemical and genetic study showed the possible link of overlapping inflammatory pathophysiology with dystrophinopathy. We report a 40-yr-old woman wh...
متن کاملMitochondrial and inflammatory changes in sporadic inclusion body myositis
AIMS Sporadic inclusion body myositis (sIBM) is the most common late onset muscle disease causing progressive weakness. In light of the lack of effective treatment, we investigated potential causes underlying muscle wasting. We hypothesized that accumulation of mitochondrial respiratory deficiency in muscle fibres may lead to fibre atrophy and degeneration, contributing to muscle mass reduction...
