According to widely used criteria (Bohan and Peter criteria, 1975), dermatomyositis (DM) is differentiated from polymyositis (PM) only by skin changes. More recent criteria also include histopathologic characteristics enabling the distinction between PM and DM and the differentiation of sporadic inclusion body myositis (s-IBM) from PM.

AbstractIn 3 patients with subacute polymyositis, muscle biopsies were remarkable for showing abundant infiltration by eosinophils. In each case the inflammatory myopathy was part of a systemic illness known as the hypereosinophilic syndrome (HES). The systemic manifestations included eosinophilia, anemia, hypergammaglobulinemia, vascular involvement ...

To characterize and analyze a subgroup of patients with polymyositis presented with predominant or isolated proximal upper limb and neck weakness.Patients with polymyositis, presenting with predominant or isolated weakness of upper limbs and the neck, were included. Bohan and Peter and Targoff criteria were used for the diagnosis of polymyositis.

Neurology, 2008
Within the neuromuscular community, few issues have generated more discussion and controversy than the classification, diagnostic criteria, and prevalence of the idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM). For over a century after its initial description, the term polymyositis (PM) was applied loosely to any condition characterized by weakness and ...

A case of eosinophilic polymyositis is reported. Tender muscle swelling was followed by proximal weakness, creatinine kinase elevation, and electromyographic features typical of polymyositis. Severe myocarditis, pericarditis and heart failure were present. Muscle biopsy specimen showed active myositis with eosinophil infiltrate.

Polymyositis is a treatable and curable disease. Unfortunately, patients with polymyositis are still frequently diagnosed as having muscular dystrophy. It is important to have a high index of suspicion of polymyositis, and to recognize that the detailed symptoms and signs and the overall picture are different from the relatively clear-cut pattern of ...

Widespread inflammatory lesions of skeletal muscle are sufficiently rare to require special notice when they are encountered, particularly when the clinical aspect of the lesions has been entirely overlooked by a number of able clinicians. Inflammatory lesions of muscles are usually classified as (1) primary suppurative myositis, (2) dermatomyositis ...
