Genetic Association Between Polymyositis/Dermatomyositis and Epilepsy: Insights From Mendelian Randomization and Bioinformatic Analyses. [PDF]

Brain Behav
This Mendelian randomization study provides robust evidence for a causal link between polymyositis (PM) and epilepsy, highlighting the role of immune‐mediated mechanisms in epilepsy development, while no such association was found for dermatomyositis (DM). Through bioinformatic and statistical analyses, key genes and pathways were identified, with IER3,

Acute respiratory distress syndrome relapsing in 10 months with an initial manifestation of polymyositis

Clinical Case Reports, 2021
Autoimmune disorders are an important cause of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). We report a case of a patient with steroid‐responsive ARDS that relapsed in 10 months with an initial manifestation of seronegative polymyositis.

A Curious Case of Proximal Muscle Weakness with Eosinophilic Polymyositis

Case Reports in Rheumatology, 2016
Eosinophilic polymyositis (EPM) is part of a rare disorder, eosinophilic myopathies (EM), which is a form of polymyositis characterized by the presence of eosinophils in muscle biopsy sections and occasionally blood eosinophilia.
