Pulmonary sarcoidosis and immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy: an uncommon coincidence.
Introduction: Immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy (IMNM) is characterized by acute or subacute, severe proximal muscle weakness and myofiber necrosis with minimal inflammatory cell infiltrate observed on muscle biopsy. On the other hand, sarcoidosis is characterised by the presence of non-caseating granulomas that can develop in several organs.
Case report: We present the unique case of a 49-year-old woman, with no previous medical history, who had a rare concomitant occurrence of IMNM and pulmonary sarcoidosis. This condition was successfully treated with a combination of corticosteroids and rituximab along with rehabilitation program.
Discussion: This association has been reported in only two previous case reports. This highlights the importance of further research on the connection between sarcoidosis and other forms of inflammatory myopathies.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
