Immune Mediated Necrotizing Myopathy: A Rare Complication of Statin Therapy [PDF]

Clinics and Practice, 2020
Immune mediated necrotizing myopathy (IMNM) is part of the inflammatory myopathies group of diseases and presents with muscle weakness, myalgias and elevated serum creatine phosphokinase (CPK). Statin-induced IMNM is a rare complication. We present a patient with IMNM secondary to simvastatin use. The patient presented with proximal myopathy, dysphagia,

Dermatomyositis and Immune-Mediated Necrotizing Myopathies: A Window on Autoimmunity and Cancer [PDF]

Frontiers in Immunology, 2017
Autoimmune myopathies (myositides) are strongly associated with malignancy. The link between myositis and cancer, originally noticed by Bohan and Peter in their classification in 1975 (1), has been evidenced by large population-based cohort studies and a recent meta-analysis.

Statin-Induced Immune-Mediated Necrotizing Myopathy: An Increasingly Recognized Inflammatory Myopathy [PDF]

Cureus, 2020
Statin-induced immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy, also known as anti-3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase (anti-HMGCR) myopathy, is an inflammatory myopathy that is triggered by statin exposure and persists after statin discontinuation. It is a rare side effect of statins, distinct from the more commonly recognized statin-induced myalgia,
