Classification of myositis

Nature Reviews Rheumatology, 2018
The idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs; also known as myositis) are a heterogeneous group of disorders in which a common feature is chronic inflammation of skeletal muscle, leading to muscle weakness. Other organs are frequently affected in IIMs, such as the skin, joints, lungs, gastrointestinal tract and heart, contributing to morbidity and ...

Immune response to dermatomyositis-specific autoantigen, transcriptional intermediary factor 1γ can result in experimental myositis

Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases, 2021
Objectives To investigate whether autoimmunity to transcriptional intermediary factor 1 (TIF1)γ, a ubiquitous nuclear autoantigen for myositis-specific autoantibodies detected in patients with dermatomyositis (DM) is pathogenetic for inflammatory ...

Treatment in myositis

Nature Reviews Rheumatology, 2018
As with the treatment of many immune-mediated diseases, managing myositis encompasses diverse factors, which present a challenge to the physician caring for these patients. The idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs, also known as myositis), are fundamentally heterogeneous; many contributory immunological perturbations are involved in the ...

Pathological autoantibody internalisation in myositis

Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases
Objectives Autoantibodies targeting intracellular proteins are common in various autoimmune diseases. In the context of myositis, the pathologic significance of these autoantibodies has been questioned due to the assumption that autoantibodies cannot ...

Myositis and malignancy

Current Opinion in Rheumatology, 1984
Dermatomyositis appears to be associated with a greater frequency of malignancy than expected in the general population. For polymyositis, there does not appear to be a greatly increased risk of malignancy. Ovarian cancer may be overrepresented in women with dermatomyositis and difficult to detect.

Ocular Myositis

Current Allergy and Asthma Reports, 2012
Ocular myositis frequently manifests with orbital pain and diplopia. The diagnosis of ocular myositis falls within the overall classification of idiopathic orbital inflammatory diseases, defined as non-infective non-specific orbital inflammation without identifiable local or systemic causes.

Therapy for myositis

Current Opinion in Rheumatology, 1991
The mainstay of therapy for polymyositis-dermatomyositis continues to be corticosteroids either alone or in combination with other immunosuppressive agents. Intravenous cyclophosphamide may be beneficial in some patients, and success with cyclosporine has been reported in children with dermatomyositis.

Myositis-specific and myositis-associated autoantibodies in Indian patients with inflammatory myositis

Rheumatology International, 2016
We aimed to study the prevalence and clinical associations of myositis-specific autoantibodies (MSAs) and myositis-associated autoantibodies (MAAs) in a large cohort of Indian patients with idiopathic inflammatory myositis (IIM). Clinical details and serum samples were collected from patients with IIM (satisfying Bohan and Peter Criteria, 1975) and CTD-
