Polyglandular autoimmunity with macrophagic myofasciitis

Clinical Rheumatology
Brett J TheelerJohn P Ney

Abstract

We report a man with chronic fatigue, multiple autoimmune disorders, and a muscle biopsy consistent with macrophagic myofasciitis. This rare and recently described muscle disorder is seen in patients exposed to vaccinations with aluminum hydroxide adjuvant. This case highlights the relationship between macrophagic myofasciitis and autoimmunity.

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.

Autoimmune Polyendocrinopathies

Autoimmune polyendocrinopathies, also called polyglandular autoimmune syndromes (PGASs), or polyendocrine autoimmune syndromes(PASs), are a heterogeneous group of rare diseases characterized by autoimmune activity against more than one endocrine organ, although non-endocrine organs can be affected. Discover the latest research on autoimmune polyendocrinopathies here.

Autoimmune Polyendocrine Syndromes

This feed focuses on a rare genetic condition called Autoimmune Polyendocrine Syndromes, which are characterized by autoantibodies against multiple endocrine organs. This can lead to Type I Diabetes.
