What is in the Myopathy Literature?

Journal of Clinical Neuromuscular Disease

Abstract

This review is focused on recent reports of sporadic inclusion body myositis (sIBM), myopathy in patients with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV) infection, and necrotizing autoimmune myopathy with antibodies to signal recognition particle. The sIBM articles cover associations with certain genetic polymorphisms, the possible pathogenic role of anti-cytosolic 5'-nucleotidase 1A antibody, and disease-related burden and health care costs. Another article addressed the possible pathogenic role of signal recognition particle antibody in necrotizing myopathy. A series of HIV patients with overlapping features of sIBM and polymyositis are highlighted as is a report of a patient with HIV and late-onset rod-body myopathy that may have improved with immunotherapy.
