Abstract
The primary idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs) are classified as dermatomyositis (DM) and myositis of the antisynthetase syndrome (ASyS), two conditions with extra-muscular involvement, and immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy (IMNM) and inclusion body myositis (IBM), the later two being muscle-specific autoimmune diseases. Myositis can overlap with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), systemic sclerosis (SSc), and less often with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and Sjögren’s disease (SSjo), and is a part of mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD) associated with a high titer ANA and anti-U1 RNP.
