Phenotypical statin‐associated immune‐mediated necrotizing myositis with histological features of inclusion body myositis

چکیده
Introduction Statin-associated immune-mediated necrotizing myositis (IMNM) is a rare but distinct idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM) that requires early recognition and intervention to prevent irreversible muscle damage. It typically characterized by active statin use, elevated creatinine kinase (CK) levels, proximal weakness, at times, positive 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-glutaryl-coenzyme A reductase (HMGCR) antibody. Treatment includes immediate discontinuation of the may include corticosteroids, intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG), and/or immunosuppressive therapy. Inclusion body (IBM), another IIM, also presents with CK levels insidious onset distal upper lower extremity weakness refractory treatment. Case Description 64-year-old female patient presented HMGCR antibody in setting use pathology suggestive both statin-associated IMNM IBM. She responded subcutaneous methotrexate slow prednisone taper over several months, however, will require close monitoring for symptoms associated either disease. Conclusion In conclusion, we report case demonstrating This highlights importance understanding clinical pathological features

Inclusion-body myositis
Inclusion-body myositis is the most frequent and disabling myopathy seen in patients over 50 years of age. The distinct clinical features that lead to correct diagnosis and inclusion-body myositis mimics are highlighted. Inclusionbody myositis has a complex pathogenesis in which autoimmune and inflammatory features coexist with elements of degeneration and abundant accumulations of various stre...
متن کاملInclusion Body Myositis
Inclusion body myositis is an insidious, slowly progressive myopathy of middle-aged and older individuals. Because of these characteristics, diagnosis is often delayed. Affected muscle is marked by the presence of rimmed vacuoles, inclusions, and an inflammatory infiltrate largely made up of CD8 T lymphocytes and macrophages. The inclusions contain beta-amyloid and phosphorylated tau protein, a...

The histochemical and ultrastructural study of muscle biopsies of two patients with a chronic muscle weakness and wasting showed particular changes in muscle fibers: (1) peripheral lined vacuoles, containing whorls of membranes and cytoplasmic debris; (2) collections of intranuclear and intrasarcoplasmic tubular filaments (16-18 nm in external diameter and 6.5 nm in inner diameter). These chang...
متن کاملInclusion Body Myositis
Sporadic inclusion body myositis (IBM) is a muscle disease with two separate pathogenic components, degeneration and inflammation. Typically, nonnecrotic myofibers are focally surrounded and invaded by CD8(+) T cells and macrophages. Both attacked and nonattacked myofibers express high levels of human leukocyte antigen class I (HLA-I) molecules, a prerequisite for antigen presentation to CD8(+)...
