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).

A search for genetic influence in idiopathic inflammatory myopathy

open access: yesActa Neurologica Scandinavica, 1982
33 patients with idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (polymyositis or dermatomyositis) and 45 of their first-degree relatives were investigated in a search for any influence of genetic factors in these diseases.

Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies

Nature Reviews Disease Primers, 2021
Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM), also known as myositis, are a heterogeneous group of autoimmune disorders with varying clinical manifestations, treatment responses and prognoses. Muscle weakness is usually the classical clinical manifestation but other organs can be affected, including the skin, joints, lungs, heart and gastrointestinal tract,

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

Best Practice & Research Clinical Rheumatology, 2012
Inflammatory myopathies are chronic, immune-mediated diseases characterised by progressive proximal muscle weakness. They encompass a variety of syndromes with protean manifestations. The diagnosis is based on Bohan and Peter's classification criteria, which nowadays seem to be obsolete.

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

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.
