Criteria for Defining Polymyositis
1. Symmetrical weakness of limb-girdle muscles and anterior neck flexors.
2. Muscle biopsy evidence of necrosis of Type I and II fibers, phagocytosis, regeneration, variation in fiber type with inflammatory exudation.
3. Elevation in serum or skeletal-muscle enzymes.
4. Electromyographic triad of short, small, polyphasia motor units, fibrillations and sharp waves; and bizarre, repetitive discharges.
5. Dermatologic features. Bohan and Peter. NEJM 1975.

Electrodiagnostic Testing
![Page 8: Inflammatory and Other Myopathies - Myositis](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021207/6206264b8c2f7b173004e3fd/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Electrophysiologic Changes in
Inflammatory Myopathy
Fibrillation at rest
Increased insertional activity
Bizarre high-frequency repetitive
discharges
Polyphasic potentials of short duration and
low amplitude
Spontaneous and positive sharp waves
![Page 9: Inflammatory and Other Myopathies - Myositis](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021207/6206264b8c2f7b173004e3fd/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
EMG and Inflammatory Myopathies
About 40% will have the classic triad
EMGs are entirely normal in 10%
Abnormalities may be limited to paraspinous
muscles
Neuropathic findings may also be seen in
Inclusion body myositis
Myositis with anti-SRP antibodies
Myositis and malignancy
![Page 10: Inflammatory and Other Myopathies - Myositis](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021207/6206264b8c2f7b173004e3fd/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
EMG and Nerve Conduction
Differentiate myopathic and neuropathic
disorders and further localize the lesion.
Identify appropriate site for biopsy.

Muscle Enzymes in IIM
CPK, aldolase, AST, ALT, and LDH
None of these enzymes may correlate well with disease activity
Patients with an IIM may become completely asymptomatic, but continue to have elevated enzymes

Not all High CK Levels are the due
to Polymyositis! Other causes
include:
Racial differences
Trauma
Exercise
Drugs/Toxins
Carrier-states
Pre-disease
Benign (cause unknown)

Impact of Cortisone on Polymyositis
Changed the mortality form over 50% to
less than 10%

and have anti-inflammatory effects
