Statins can cause a necrotizing myopathy and hyperCKaemia which is reversible on cessation of the drug. What is less well known is a phenomenon whereby statins may induce a myopathy, which persists or may progress after stopping the drug. We investig

Susceptibility to sIBM is strongly associated with the HLA-DRB1*03 allele and the 8.1 MHC ancestral haplotype (HLA-A1, B8, DRB1*03) but little is known about the effects of allelic interactions at the DRB1 locus or disease-modifying effects of HLA al

A prospective open label trial of add on therapy with intravenous immunoglobulin (i.v.Ig) was carried out in 16 patients with inflammatory myopathy who had continued to deteriorate or had relapsed on conventional therapy. The response was assessed us

The treatment of the immune-mediated inflammatory myopathies remains largely empirical. Corticosteroids are usually effective in polymyositis and dermatomyositis but may need to be combined with methotrexate or azathioprine in some patients. Intraven

The idiopathic inflammatory myopathies include polymyositis and dermatomyositis, which tend to be responsive to drug therapy, and inclusion body myositis, which is often unresponsive or only partially responsive to drugs. Corticosteroids are consider

Inflammatory myopathy is a group of disorders with progressive muscle weakness being the major symptom. Quantitative assessment of muscle function is important when evaluating the response of these conditions to treatment and various methods, includi

The initial approach to the treatment of patients with inflammatory myopathy is critical in determining the subsequent course and outcome. Prolonged administration of high doses of corticosteroids should be avoided and a second-line agent such as met

SUMMARY Inclusion body myositis (IBM) is defined clinically by a characteristic pattern of progressive proximal and distal limb muscle weakness and resistance to steroid therapy, and histologically by the presence of distinctive rimmed vacuoles and f

Sporadic inclusion body myositis (sIBM) usually occurs as an isolated condition, but it may occur in association with another autoimmune disorder such as Sjogren's syndrome. We reviewed sIBM cases with Sjogren's syndrome (sIBM/SS) from the Perth Infl
