Idiopathic Inflammatory Myopathies

Indian Journal of Pediatrics, 2023
Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs) are a diverse group of diseases characterized by proximal muscle weakness and inflammation in skeletal muscle. Phenotypically, the subtypes include dermatomyositis, polymyositis, inclusion body myositis, and amyopathic dermatomyositis. The most common IIM in children is juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM).

IDIOPATHIC INFLAMMATORY MYOPATHIES

Neurologic Clinics, 1997
Dermatomyositis, polymyositis, and inclusion body myositis are the major categories of idiopathic inflammatory myopathy. These inflammatory myopathies are distinct clinically, histologically, and pathogenically. Features of dermatomyositis and polymyositis can overlap with those of other autoimmune connective tissue diseases.

Idiopathic Inflammatory Myopathies

DeckerMed Neurology, 2002
The idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs), also known as myositis syndromes, are a collection of heterogeneous disorders that share the common feature of chronic muscle inflammation of unknown cause. These disorders may occur in adults or children and are sometimes associated with other connective tissue disorders and a variety of cancers.

Idiopathic Inflammatory Myopathies

Rheumatic Disease Clinics of North America, 1990
The idiopathic inflammatory myopathies are a heterogeneous group of uncommon diseases. The incidence rate of IIM is approximately 5 cases per million population, but there appears to be an increase in the rate over the last two decades, particularly in black females.

Idiopathic Inflammatory Myopathies

Rheumatic Disease Clinics of North America, 2019
Major advances have been made in the field of idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM), or myositis, that are likely to facilitate development of new therapeutic strategies that have not yet been applied in this group of diseases. These advances include new classification criteria to better identify the patients with IIM, detection of several new ...

Idiopathic Inflammatory Myopathies

2008
Major pathology consists of focal inhomogeneous infl ammation with injury, death, and repair of muscle cells. Each subgroup of myositis has characteristic changes on microscopy and immunochemistry. ■ Etiology is still unclear but selected environmental exposures in genetically predisposed hosts have been found.

Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies – myositis

Best Practice & Research Clinical Rheumatology, 2002
The inflammatory myopathies - myositis - encompass a heterogeneous group of chronic muscle disorders of unknown origin and with varying prognoses. New clinical phenotypes of myositis have been identified since the most widely used classification criteria were proposed in 1975.

Idiopathic inflammatory myopathy

Medicine, 2014
The idiopathic inflammatory myopathies, especially dermatomyositis and polymyositis, are systemic autoimmune diseases with significant mortality and morbidity. Muscle weakness of the proximal muscles is the most common presenting clinical feature. Since idiopathic inflammatory myopathy is relatively uncommon, randomized control trials are scarce, and ...

Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies

Journal of Neuroimmunology, 2011
The idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) encompass a heterogeneous group of rare disorders that present with acute, subacute, or chronic muscle weakness. Besides overlapping clinical manifestations, polymyositis, dermatomyositis and autoimmune necrotizing myopathy may be associated with cancer or collagen vascular disease, and respond generally ...
