چکیده
Polymyositis and Dermatomyositis are often connected with autoimmune diseases and are closely linked with specific autoantibodies. Clinical manifestations are mild in correlation with clinical picture ofmyositis related to malignancy. Pulmonary complications are main cause of mortality in overlap syndromes with autoimmune diseases. Infection, cardiovascular complications and underlying malignancy provide greater mortality risk.

متن کاملIdiopathic Inflammatory Myopathies: Association with Overlap Myositis and Syndromes: Classification, Clinical Characteristics, and Associated Autoantibodies
Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) are traditionally identified as a group of disorders that target skeletal muscle due to autoimmune dysfunction. The IIM can be divided into subtypes based on certain clinical characteristics, and several classification schemes have been proposed. The predominant diagnostic criteria for IIM is the Bohan and Peter criteria, which subdivides IIM into primar...
متن کاملEpidemiology of connective tissue disorders.
The reported prevalence and incidence of connective tissue disorders are quite variable, depending on differences in study methodology. Most important differences are the study duration, the classification criteria used for diagnosis and the country in which the study was undertaken. Sjögren's syndrome has the highest prevalence ranging between 0.5 and 3% of a given population. The prevalence o...
متن کاملSystemic sclerosis-polymyositis overlap syndrome associated with autoimmune hepatitis and cerebral vasculitis.
Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is a chronic disorder characterized by persistent hepatocellular inflammation and necrosis. AIH overlap syndromes with other autoimmune diseases have been reported, including connective tissue diseases (CTD). Reports of AIH in systemic sclerosis (SSc), however, are scarce and have been particularly described in the limited SSc subtype. We report a case of systemic scl...
متن کاملAnti-pm/scl antibodies in connective tissue disease: Clinical and biological assessment of 14 patients.
INTRODUCTION Anti-PM/Scl antibodies (Anti-PM/Scl) represent a rarely encountered type of antinuclear antibodies. They have mainly been reported in association with idiopathic inflammatory myositis - systemic sclerosis overlap syndromes (also called scleromyositis or sclerodermatomyositis) but also with polymyositis, dermatomyositis and systemic sclerosis without features of overlap syndromes. S...
