Polymyositis Disorder of skeletal muscle of diverse causes --- acute or sub acute onset Clinical Manifestation : progressive limb and neck muscles weakness – distal M are usually affected later – eyelids & ocular movements spared– dysphagia usually without disarthria
Systemic symptoms not evident -arthralgia – weight loss - Malaise Raynaud symptoms- no rash of DM –no visceral lesion –myocarditis may accure –may persist for years Laboratory data : EMG myopathic no fasciculation –NCV normal –CK 10 times Biopsy:CD8 Tlymphocyte muscle
Pathogenesis : autoimmune disease (cellular) association of PM with Crohn –biliary cirrhosis sarcoidosis –MG with thymoma and candidiasis – graft versus host disease – HIV &HTLV1 viral disease Diagnosis : 1) no familial history 2) progress from onset peak weeks or months 3) >35 y 4)may improve spontaneusly or with therapy 5)proximal and neck weakness &dysphagia
6)Arthralgia .myalgia and Raynaud symptoms 7)EMG findings D D : PM with DM --- 1) DM most often homogeneus condition only rarely associated with a known cause other than carcinoma . PM 50% associated with some other systemic dis 2) PM is often a manifestation of a specific collagen vascular disease ( SLE ,,,,, ) DM rarely associated with collagen disease
3) DM ocure at all ages ; PM is rare before puberty 4)myopathy of DM is sever more often than PM 5) DM is far more likely to be associated with malignancy than PM Therapy : Steroids -- immunosuppressive IVIG --Infliximab
