Polymyositis means 'many muscle inflammation'. Polymyositis tends to become evident in adulthood, presenting with bilateral proximal muscle weakness, often noted in the upper legs due to early fatigue while walking. The weakness is generally progressive, accompanied by lymphocytic inflammation (mainly cytotoxic T8 lymphocytes ). The cause is unknown, but seems to be related to autoimmune factors, genetics , and perhaps viruses . In rare cases, the cause is known to be infectious, associated with the pathogens that cause Lyme disease Toxoplasmosis , and others. Polymyositis, like Dermatomyositis , strikes females with greater frequency than males. The skin involvement of Dermatomyositis is absent in Polymyositis. Diagnosis is fourfold, including elevation of

http://www.caringmedical.com/conditions/Polymyositis.htm

Extractions: Polymyositis and dermatomyositis (PM-DM) are autoimmune neuromuscular diseases referred to as connective tissue diseases. In the family of myositis diseases, polymyositis and dermatomyositis can occur in all ages and both sexes, although they are more common in women. Also, the childhood disease is differentiated from the adult type. A recent study found that polymyositis affects approximately 120 women per million. How do polymyositis and dermatomyositis develop? Polymyositis and dermatomyositis are autoimmune diseases. In both conditions the immune system malfunctions and produces antibodies that attack healthy tissue in different parts of the body. Polymyositis and dermatomyositis are classified as connective tissue diseasesdisorders featuring abnormalities involving the collagen and elastin. Polymyositis and dermatomyositis are characterized by painful inflammation and degeneration of the muscles. The weakness usually occurs in the shoulders and hips but can affect muscles symmetrically throughout the body. A skin rash on the face and upper chest area is present in dermatomyositis, distinguishing it from polymyositis. Researchers are linking cancer as a possible trigger to the disease, primarily in men.

http://www.patient.co.uk/showdoc/40001177/

Extractions: PatientPlus articles are written for doctors and so the language can be technical. However, some people find that they add depth to the articles found in the other sections of this website which are written for non-medical people. Dermatomyositis and polymyositis are a mixture of various inflammatory diseases of the muscles with or without inflammation of skin too. Both polymyositis and dermatomyositis have an autoimmune basis (and respond to immunosuppression), but the basic mechanisms for the conditions are different and they have specific clinical and histological features. They may be associated with other autoimmune diseases such as myasthenia gravis Hashimoto's thyroiditis systemic sclerosis and Waldenstrom's Macroglobulinaemia. Damage to capillaries would seem to be an underlying pathology in dermatomyositis. For more about the pathological basis of these diseases, see the e-medicine article in the Internet section at the end.
