Treatment of inflammatory myopathies
Expert Review of Clinical Immunology, 2018The idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) dermatomyositis (DM) and polymyositis (PM) are chronic diseases affecting the striated muscles with variable involvement of other organs. Glucocorticoids are considered the cornerstone of treatment, but some patients require adjunctive immunosuppressive agents because of insufficient response to ...

IDIOPATHIC INFLAMMATORY MYOPATHIES
Neurologic Clinics, 1997Dermatomyositis, 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.

Inflammatory myopathies are the result of infiltration of inflammatory cells into striated muscle, with or without an association with an underlying cause. Two broad classifications are IIMs and secondary inflammatory myopathies associated with other diseases.

Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies
Nature Reviews Disease Primers, 2021Idiopathic 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,

The Heart in Inflammatory Myopathies
Rheumatic Disease Clinics of North America, 2014Systemic autoimmune diseases are becoming increasingly linked to accelerated risks of cardiovascular disease and events. What is apparent from the above review is that the IIM are not an exception to this growing pattern. Although not always clinically apparent, there seems to be a large percentage of patients who have subclinical CV involvement.

Idiopathic inflammatory myopathies
Best Practice & Research Clinical Rheumatology, 2012Inflammatory 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, 1990The 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.

MRI in inflammatory myopathies
Skeletal Radiology, 2000Inflammatory myopathies encompass a group of acquired muscle disorders caused by infectious agents (bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasitic agents) or autoimmune processes (polymyositis, dermatomyositis and other types). In suspected infection sonography, CT and MRI are all able to show edema and fluid collections in soft tissues and muscles; sonography

Inflammatory Myopathies in Children
Rheumatic Disease Clinics of North America, 2005Juvenile idiopathic inflammatory myopathies are rare conditions that are probably autoimmune in nature. Juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM) is the most common inflammatory myopathy. This article describes a recent patient who presented with typical JDM and uses her case to discuss aspects of the childhood inflammatory myopathies.

INFLAMMATORY MYOPATHY IN CHILDREN
Rheumatic Disease Clinics of North America, 1994The symptoms of inflammatory muscle disease in children can be characterized as either acute or chronic in nature; acute muscle complaints are usually associated with viral or bacterial infectious agents. Throughout the world, most of the acute inflammatory myopathies may be a consequence of bacterial or parasitic infection, but in North America, acute
