polymyositis

[Guest guest]

Dear Sukhi,

 

Namaste.

 

Medical Background:

 

Polymyositis is a disease of muscle featuring

inflammation of the muscle fibers. It is thought to be

an autoimmune disorder and its effective treatment

consists of immunosuppressive and immunomodulating

agents. The cause of the disease is not known. It

begins when white blood cells, the immune cells of

inflammation, spontaneously invade muscles. The

muscles affected are mostly those closest to the trunk

or torso. This results in weakness which can be

severe. It is a chronic illness with periods of

increased symptoms, called flares or relapses, and

decreased symptoms, known as remissions.

Polymyositis can be associated with skin rash and is

then referred to as " dermatomyositis. " It also can

affect other areas of the body and is, therefore, a

systemic illness. Occasionally, it is associated with

cancer, or with other diseases of connective tissue

(see systemic lupus erythematosus, scleroderma and

rheumatoid arthritis).

 

To date, no cause of polymyositis has been isolated by

scientific researchers. There are indicators of

heredity (genetic) susceptibility that can be found in

some patients. There is indirect evidence of infection

by a virus that has yet to be identified in a form of

polymyositis that is particularly resistant to

treatment, called inclusion body myositis. This form

of polymyositis is diagnosed by the pathologist, a

physician specialist who interprets the microscope

findings of muscle tissue. The muscle tissue in this

form of polymyositis displays clear areas within the

muscle cells (called vacuoles) when viewed under the

magnification of a microscope.

 

Aside from diseases with which polymyositis can be

associated (as mentioned above), many other diseases

and conditions can mimic polymyositis. These include

nerve-muscle diseases (such as muscular dystrophies),

drug toxins (such as alcohol, cocaine, steroids,

colchicine, hydroxychloroquine, and cholesterol

lowering drugs), metabolic disorders (where muscle

cells are unable to process chemicals normally),

hormone disorders (such as abnormal thyroid), calcium,

and magnesium conditions), and infectious diseases

(such as influenza virus, AIDS, streptococcus and Lyme

bacteria, pork tapeworm and schistosomiasis).

 

Symptoms:

Weakness of muscles is the most common symptom of

polymyositis. The muscles involved usually are those

that are closest to the trunk of the body. The onset

can be gradual or rapid. This results in varying

degrees of loss of muscle power and atrophy. The loss

of strength can be noticed as difficulty getting up

from chairs, climbing stairs or lifting above the

shoulders. Trouble with swallowing and weakness

lifting the head from the pillow can occur.

Occasionally, the muscles ache and are tender to the

touch (25% of patients).

 

Patients can also feel fatigue, a general feeling of

discomfort and have weight loss and/or low-grade

fever.

 

With skin involvement (dermatomyositis), the eyes can

be surrounded by a violet discoloration with swelling.

There can be scaly reddish discoloration over the

knuckles, elbows and knees (Gottron's sign). There can

also be reddish rash on the face, neck and upper

chest. Hard lumps of calcium deposits can develop in

the fatty layer of the skin, most commonly in

childhood dermatomyositis.

 

Heart and lung involvement can lead to irregular heart

rhythm and shortness of breath.

 

Because polymyositis can present in combination with

other illnesses (see related articles on systemic

lupus erythematosus, scleroderma and rheumatoid

arthritis), it can also have overlap features with

them.
