[2] The manifestations of this condition may include skin issues, muscle weakness, and the potential involvement of other organs. [3] Additionally, systemic symptoms like weight loss, fatigue, and low-grade fever can manifest in individuals ...

  3. Inflammatory myopathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inflammatory_myopathy

    overlapping symptoms (such as muscle weakness, pain, elevated CK); that delaying treatment for an inflammatory myopathy, in order to exclude potential non-inflammatory myopathies, may cause irreversible damage (although administering immunosuppressants and glucocorticosteroids to non-inflammatory myopathies may also cause damage);

  4. Inclusion body myositis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inclusion_body_myositis

    Inclusion body myositis (IBM) (/ m aɪ oʊ ˈ s aɪ t ɪ s /) (sometimes called sporadic inclusion body myositis, sIBM) is the most common inflammatory muscle disease in older adults. [2] The disease is characterized by slowly progressive weakness and wasting of both proximal muscles (located on or close to the torso ) and distal muscles (close ...

  5. Polymyositis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polymyositis

    Polymyositis and the associated inflammatory myopathies have an associated increased risk of cancer. [3] The features they found associated with an increased risk of cancer were older age, age greater than 45, male sex, difficulty swallowing, death of skin cells, cutaneous vasculitis, rapid onset of myositis (<4 weeks), elevated creatine kinase, higher erythrocyte sedimentation rate and higher ...

    It has also been classified as an idiopathic inflammatory myopathy, along with polymyositis, necrotizing autoimmune myositis, cancer-associated myositis, and sporadic inclusion body myositis. [17] A form of this disorder that occurs prior to adulthood is known as juvenile dermatomyositis. [18]

    Similar to other subtypes of idiopathic inflammatory myopathy, except for sporadic inclusion body myositis, antisynthetase syndrome is more common in women, with an estimated female-to-male ratio of roughly 7:3. In patients with dermatomyositis and polymyositis, the mean age at disease onset is 48 years, which is older than in patients with ...

  9. Statin-associated autoimmune myopathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statin-associated...

    The development of necrotizing myopathy after statin exposure is insufficient to make the diagnosis. Testing must first exclude other causes of myositis and necrotizing myopathy. [7] A muscle biopsy consistent with SAAM will demonstrate muscle cell death with muscle fiber regeneration and typically has few inflammatory cells.
