Hypereosinophilia Associated With Antisynthetase Syndrome With Anti-Ro52/PL12 Co-Positivity: An Unusual Presentation. [PDF]

Clin Case Rep
ABSTRACT Hypereosinophilia is uncommon in ASS and this presentation makes diagnosis more challenging. Anti‐PL12's role in the severity of ILD is controversial but its association with anti‐Ro52 seems to give a more serious disease phenotype. African ethnicity could be a negative prognostic factor, associated with lung disease severity.

Nonbacterial Myositis

Current Infectious Disease Reports, 2010
Infectious myositis is defined as an infection of a skeletal muscle. Infectious myositis is most commonly caused by bacteria; however, a variety of viral, parasitic, and fungal agents may also cause myositis. The pathogenesis of nonbacterial infectious myositis is via direct or hematogenous infection of the musculature or immune mechanisms.
