Click here to view next page of this article Polymyositis Dermatomyositis and polymyositis are autoimmune disorders in which the skeletal muscle is damaged by an inflammatory process dominated by lymphocytic infiltration. The term polymyositis is applied when the condition spares the skin, and the term dermatomyositis when polymyositis is associated with a characteristic skin rash. One-third of cases are associated with various connective tissue disorders, such as rheumatoid arthritis, and polymiositis. The precise cause of these diseases is unknown, but interplay between host genetic factors, viral infection of muscle, and autoimmune mechanisms is probably contributory. Familial occurrence of these diseases, and the increased frequency of HLA-DR3 and -DRw52 antigens in patients. A lymphocyte-mediated disease resembling polymyositis has been reported in laboratory animals injected with muscle antigens together with Freund's adjuvant (experimental). A widely used classification of the dermatomyositis-polymyositis group. Other diseases uncommonly associated with polymyositis are sarcoidosis, giant cell myositis with thymoma, and myositis in systemic infections due to viruses, toxoplasma, or parasites. Current estimates of the annual incidence of the inflammatory myopathies are approximately five cases per million population. These estimates are probably low.

Polymyositis is een ziekte waarbij de spieren ontsteken, waarschijnlijk ten gevolge van auto-immuunreacties. De eigelijke oorzaak is echter nog niet bekend. Wat is dermatomyositis (DM)? Wanneer polymyositis samengaat met een bepaald soort huidontstekingen spreekt men van dermatomyositis (derma = huid). Belangrijkste symptomen Het eerste symptoom is meestal spierzwakte en wel van de bekkenspieren, wat zich uit door moeite bij het bestijgen van trappen, bij het fietsen enz. Terzelfder tijd of kort nadien ontstaan dezelfde klachten in de nek en de schoudergordelspieren. De krachtsvermindering kan licht tot heel ernstig zijn, gaande tot verlamming. Er kan min of meer belangrijke spierpijn aanwezig zijn. De huidverschijnselen zijn meestal ook in het begin al aanwezig en kunnen zelfs de spierproblemen voorafgaan. Soms zijn de spierklachten minder belangrijk dan de huidklachten. Gewrichtsontstekingen met zwelling, maar zonder aantasting van kraakbeen of bot komen voor.

Search Encyclopedia: List of Topics Print This Page  Rheumatology Polymyositis - adult Superficial anterior muscles Definition: Polymyositis is a systemic connective tissue disease characterized by inflammation and degeneration of the muscles. Causes, incidence, and risk factors: The cause of this disorder is unknown. It is thought that an autoimmune reaction or a viral infection of the skeletal muscle may cause the disease. It can affect people at any age, but most commonly occurs in those between 50 and 70 years old, or in children between 5 and 15 years old. It affects women twice as often as men. Muscle weakness may appear suddenly or occur slowly over weeks or months. There may be difficulty raising the arms over the head, rising from a sitting position, or climbing stairs. The voice may be affected through weakness of the throat muscles. Joint pain inflammation of the heart , and lung disease may occur. A similar condition, called dermatomyositis , is evident when a dusky, red rash appears over the face, neck, shoulders, upper chest, and back. A malignancy may be associated with this disorder. Each year, between 2 and 10 people per million develop the disease.

Subscribe now >> Polymyositis Polymyositis is an inflammatory muscle disease that causes varying degrees of decreased muscle power. The disease has a gradual onset and generally begins in the second decade of life. Polymyositis rarely affects persons under the age of 18. The most common symptom is muscle weakness, usually affecting those muscles that are closest to the trunk of the body (proximal). Eventually, patients have difficulty rising from a sitting position, climbing stairs, lifting objects, or reaching overhead. In some cases, distal muscles (those not close to the trunk of the body) may also be affected later in the course of the disease. Trouble with swallowing (dysphagia) may occur. Occasionally, the muscles ache and are tender to touch. Patients may also feel fatigue and discomfort and have weight loss or a low-grade fever. Treatment for polymyositis generally consists of a steroid drug called prednisone. For patients in whom prednisone is not effective, immunosuppressants such as azathioprine and methotrexate may be prescribed. Physical therapy is usually recommended to preserve muscle function and avoid muscle atrophy.

Juvenile Dermatomyositis and Polymyositis A Follow-up Study of Long-term Sequelae CRAIG H. COLLISON, SARA H. SINAL, MD, JOSEPH L. JORIZZO, MD, FRANCIS O. WALKER, MD, JOHNNY U. V. MONU, MD, and JANE SNYDER, PT, Winston-Salem, NC Abstract Background. Juvenile dermatomyositis/polymyositis (JDMS/PM) are childhood inflammatory myopathies that normally affect children between 2 and 15 years of age. The disease is manifested as severe proximal muscle weakness and, in JDMS, as a characteristic cutaneous eruption. It is difficult to predict the course of the disease. This study is aimed at objectively assessing the long-term morbidity of dermatomyositis/polymyositis in children. Methods. Twelve cases of JDMS/PM identified through chart review were evaluated by physical and dermatologic examination, muscle testing, ultrasonography, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Conclusions. Multiple physical and dermatologic sequelae are commonly present in patients with JDMS/PM on long-term follow-up, but these do not preclude a productive life. Ultrasonography and MRI provide additional noninvasive means of analysis, but because of the current high cost, MRI is not routinely recommended. JUVENILE dermatomyositis/polymyositis (JDMS/PM) is a childhood form of inflammatory myopathy usually affecting children from 2 to 15 years of age. It is manifested by severe proximal muscle weakness and, in JDMS, by a characteristic cutaneous eruption. Other less common signs and symptoms include dysphagia, cardiac conduction abnormalities, and restrictive ventilatory dyspnea.1-3 Polymyositis (PM) has the same features as JDMS but without the cutaneous involvement.

Bronchiolitis Obliterans Organizing Pneumonia as the First Manifestation of Polymyositis FARID FATA, MD, RITESH RATHORE, MD, CARL SCHIFF, MD, and BARRY C. HERZLICH, MD, Brooklyn, NY ABSTRACT: Bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia (BOOP) preceding polymyositis is rare. In this report, a 51-year-old patient with fever, nonproductive cough, and dyspnea had bilateral basal interstitial infiltrates on chest roentgenogram. Open lung biopsy was consistent with BOOP. Prednisone therapy led to improvement, but 8 weeks later, fever, cough, and weakness of the arms and legs developed because the patient had not been compliant with the prednisone regimen. The creatine kinase (CK), the macrophage inflammatory protein (MIP-1), and the tumor necrosis factor (TNF-a a levels declined significantly. This is only the second reported case of BOOP preceding polymyositis. Patients with idiopathic BOOP should have follow-up for the possible development of connective tissue disorders including polymyositis. THE PULMONARY MANIFESTATIONS of polymyositis include usual interstitial pneumonitis, bronchiolitis obliterans, diffuse alveolar damage, pulmonary capillaritis, and bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia (BOOP).1,2 In 1985, Epler et al3 described BOOP as a distinct entity. BOOP presents with fever associated with cough and dyspnea. Pathologically, although there is a cellular interstitial pneumonitis, the organizing pneumonia consists of proliferating fibroblasts that lay down mucopolysaccharides and young connective tissue.4 The entity must be distinguished from bronchiolitis obliterans, which affects only the distal bronchioles, and from organizing pneumonitis and organizing diffuse alveolar damage, which affect only the alveoli.4 BOOP preceding or coexisting with polymyositis is rare. We report the second case of BOOP preceding polymyositis5 and show that cytokines play a role in the pathogenesis of BOOP associated with polymyositis.

Polymyositis / Dermatomyositis What are polymyositis and dermatomyositis? Polymyositis and dermatomyositis are disorders involving inflammation of the voluntary muscles. As a result of this inflammation (myositis), muscles undergo degenerative changes, which may lead to severe disability. In polymyositis, the inflammation is found in many muscles, thus the term "poly". It is present over a prolonged period of time. In dermatomyositis the muscle inflammation is usually accompanied by a skin rash, therefore the prefix "dermato". What are the symptoms of each of these disorders? The symptoms of polymyositis and dermatomyositis vary widely from person to person, with respect to severity, rate of progression and complications. Spontaneous remissions may occur, although as a rule, the natural course of the disease is progressive unless effective treatment can be found. It has been suggested that the more acute the onset, the better the prognosis. In dermatomyositis, a reddish rash appears, typically on the face (cheeks and eyelids), elbows, hands, knees and upper chest. The skin changes in appearance, becoming shiny, tight and thin. A person's fingers may become very blue in cold weather. In polymyositis, there is no skin rash.

They are a group of conditions in which there is inflammation of the muscles. Resulting disability is very variable: sometimes weakness is mild but at the other extreme there may be major disability. Generally speaking, polymyositis (PM) and dermatomyositis (DM) respond to treatment. DM occurring in childhood may have important differences and a separate MDC leaflet is available entitled 'Juvenile Dermatomyositis'. Inclusion Body Myositis (IBM) is another important cause of chronic muscle inflammation, mainly in older male subjects and is also dealt with in another MDC leaflet. With very rare exceptions PM and DM are not inherited. Both PM and DM can affect individuals at any age. What are the symptoms?

When cutaneous disease is also present the term dermatomyositis is used. Polymyositis and dernatomyositis are considered to be collagen vascular diseases because of their clinical, pathological, and radiological features. Diagnostic criteria include: proximal symmetric muscle weakness that progresses over a period of weeks to months; elevated serum levels of muscle enzymes or an elevated level of urinary creatinine excretion; an abnormal electromyogram; and abnormal muscle biopsy findings that are consistent with myositis. In some patients with Sjogrens syndrome , polymyositis with slowly progressive weakness of proximal muscles may occur. Most patients have symmetric involvement of proximal muscles; Raynauds phenomenon is also common. Radiographs reveal soft tissue and joint abnormalities, notably calcification and oedema of the subcutaneous tissue and muscle. Arthralgia and arthritis may be present but often joint abnormalities are not present on radiographs. Bone erosions and alignment abnormalities have been noted, however, especially radial subluxation or dislocation at the interphalangeal joint of the thumb (
