Background: Response to rituximab so far is unpredictable in patients with refractory myositis. Predictive models of clinical improvement are developed using clinical, laboratory, and gene expression/cytokine/chemokine variables in rituximab-treated refractory myositis patients. Methods: We analyzed data for 200 myositis patients (76 with adult polymyositis (PM), 76 with adult dermatomyositis (...
Orbital myositis is an inflammation of mainly the extraocular muscles. Orbital myositis has a sudden onset, and the clinical course can be acute or chronic. The ocular signs and symptoms of eyes with orbital myositis are periocular pain, eyelid swelling and redness, restricted ocular motility, and strabismus. Computed tomographic (CT) scans show indistinct swelling around one or more extraocula...
Myositis has been reported as a rare manifestation of Lyme disease, and the Lyme disease spirochetes can be an important consideration in the differential diagnosis of unusual cases of myositis, especially in patients who live in or travel to endemic areas. We report the case of two patients who presented with focal orbital myositis which are rare localization for Lyme disease. Myositis were co...
Proliferative myositis is a rare, self-limiting, benign disease. Its diagnosis can be difficult and in many cases is not confirmed until after surgical resection. Herein, we report a case of proliferative myositis of the right brachioradialis in a 64-year-old man. The patient presented with a rapidly growing, painless mass in his right forearm. Magnetic resonance imaging and fine-needle aspirat...
Title: Myositis autoantibodies in Korean patients with inflammatory myositis: Anti-140-kDa polypeptide antibody is primarily associated with rapidly progressive interstitial lung disease independent of clinically amyopathic dermatomyositis.
INTRODUCTION The aim was to evaluate S100A4 protein as a biomarker of disease activity and potential cancer development in patients with myositis. METHODS Serum levels of S100A4 were determined in 43 dermatomyositis (DM), 39 polymyositis (PM) and 22 cancer associated myositis (CAM) patients as well as in 77 healthy controls. The associations between S100A4 levels, inflammation, disease activi...
The idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) are acquired muscle diseases characterized by muscle weakness and inflammation on muscle biopsy. Clinicoserologic classifications do not take muscle histology into account to distinguish the subsets of IIM. Our objective was to determine the pathologic features of each serologic subset of IIM and to correlate muscle biopsy results with the clinicoser...
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to develop and validate a quantitative anti-signal recognition particle (SRP) autoantibody serum ELISA in patients with myositis and longitudinal association with myositis disease activity. METHODS We developed a serum ELISA using recombinant purified full-length human SRP coated on ELISA plates and a secondary antibody that bound human IgG to detect anti-S...
UNLABELLED Myositis ossificans circumscripta is a form of heterotopic ossification that is benign in nature associated to a trauma, but may appear clinically and radiologically as a malignant neoplasm. We describe a rare case of calcifying of myositis ossificans not associated to trauma in a 35-year-old woman with a mass in her upper third and external of right thigh. We discuss some of the dif...
