Abstract

We reviewed 99 patients with sporadic inclusion body myositis (IBM), searching for a coexisting autoimmune disease, other conditions with altered immune function, or the presence of autoantibodies. Thirteen patients had one or more of 11 diseases with altered immune function. Forty-three patients had elevated titers of one or more of nine different, albeit nondisease-specific, autoantibodies. Twenty-five patients had dysproteinemia or dysproteinuria. We conclude that IBM is frequently associated with systemic immune disorders or nonspecific autoantibodies. Although aging may explain some of these phenomena, an altered immune function need to be considered in the pathogenesis of IBM.

Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases occur as a result of an attack by the immune system on the body’s own tissues resulting in damage and dysfunction. There are different types of autoimmune diseases, in which there is a complex and unknown interaction between genetics and the environment. Discover the latest research on autoimmune diseases here.
